Walktober 2011



In October 2011, 6 committed Wokabaot Jalens teams signed up to compete in an online pedometer challenge, organized by the Australian Government. This program is free of charge and all you need is a pedometer, a team of 4 and internet access. 

It is a very challenging program – 1700 (!) individuals from Australia participated, both men and women. “After the first week we realized that our Vanuatu teams are in the top scoring teams!” 

Four weeks of hard walking have come to an end and three of the Vanuatu teams are among the top 10 teams of all 444 teams! These enthusiastic teams were highly committed and managed to walk up to 40.000 steps a day. 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
