UOG Horizons: Knowledge for Life - Learning CHamoru is good for your health
UOG Horizons: Knowledge for Life - Learning CHamoru is good for your health
UOG Horizons: Knowledge for Life - Learning CHamoru is good for your health
3/10/2025
Health is "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity," defined by the United Nations through the World Health Organization.
It is appropriate to point out during Mes CHamoru, that learning CHamoru in Guam significantly improves our social well-being. I contend that learning CHamoru advances our integral human well-being and thus also positively affects our mental and physical health.
