The winners of the 2019 Worksite Moai Competition were announced during a Tuesday celebration at MC’s on Main by Blue Zones Project — Healthy Klamath, according to a news release.
This is the second time the organization has facilitated the competition, which last occurred in 2017. A Moai is group of people who get together at regular intervals for 10 weeks. The term originates from Okinawa, Japan, a Blue Zone, where parents form their children into groups when they turn 5 years of age as a way to instill a sense of lifelong social connectedness. Many of the centenarians living in Okinawa have been with their Moai for 80 to 90 years.
