Gurgaon: Quite on the line of the old adage ‘Happy, healthy parents make happy, healthy children’, the Kunskapsskolan International organised a sports event – exclusively for Gurgaon mothers, ‘The Mother of All - Sports Day’ in collaboration with Gurgaon Moms on Saturday at its school campus

More than 100 mothers from Gurgaon participated in the event. The sports day comprised of a significant range of sport from Squash, Archery, Shooting, Cricket, Soccer, Tennis, Table Tennis, Basketball, Badminton, Moms Kabaddi League and more.

Ms. Sunitha Nambiar, Program Director, Kunskapsskolan Eduventures added "This initiative was aimed to encourage fitness among the mothers to ensure well-being and holistic development and to bring all Moms of Gurgaon together for a day of sport."

Not only that, the event also catered to the needs of those mothers who want to bring along their kids to a special activity zone to engage and explore followed by some mouth watering delicacies.

Ms. Upasana Luthra,resident of sector 90, a participant, confirmed that the event was more than fun for her. “After the event, I realised that with minor changes in lifestyle even home-makers like me can be fit enough to compete with working women.”

The founder of Gurgaon Moms Ms. Neela Kaushik laid stress upon the need of sports and recreation among mothers – both working and home-makers. She said "We are hoping that this will help revive interest in sports among mothers. Indulging in a sports activity on a regular basis can help moms with their fitness goals .
