Hear from our Zumba Course Participant Jamila

Jamila Abdulazeez Abdullah 44 years Malta, Duhok (Host Community) “Exercise impacts every single organ in your body. The Zumba course helped me to dance my way out of several health issues and build a network of friendships that make my heart leap with joy, while sweating it out.” Jamila suffered from liver problems, excess oil, and poor functioning of her stomach. She also had a toxic goiter, all which wracked both her body and mind. She had to visit the doctors frequently, but she felt she needed to be more physically active, housework was not enough. She enrolled for the Zumba Course and the continuous movements, consistently over the period of the Course, made her more active and she saw positive results instantly. She lost around 4 kgs, reducing her knee pain significantly. She visited the doctor and learnt that the excess oil had almost disappeared. She felt much better psychologically and loved the network of friendships she had built with the women in the course, whose company made the experience of sweating it out, so enjoyable.
