FIVE MINUTES WITH RAHA MOHARRAK

Where: Intercontinental Festival City, Dubai
What: A WHO-hosted forum on how to up physical activity levels among people in the Eastern Mediterranean region, where nearly half of the population is deemed insufficiently active
When: February 24, 2014

Parts of the interview were used for my work, but I thought I'd publish the whole interview here, because she's such an inspiration for young people in the region who have yet to walk a block or pick up a dumbbell!
