One Spark Denver was made aware of a young man who had moved to Colorado from Rwanda. He had come here to pursue a lifelong dream. From an early age, Juste Mukiza recognized the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and was passionate about nutrition and fitness. He wanted an opportunity to one day teach children and adults the importance of healthy nutrition and to become a certified personal trainer. Although Juste worked full-time and was able to begin a life here for himself, the expense of the training program was more than he could manage on his own. One Spark Denver responded by paying the certification fees associated with the personal training program and its assessments. Today, Juste is a certified personal trainer, and his company, Joostcamp LTD is helping those who struggle with their health, fitness, and self-esteem. One Spark Denver helped him realize his dream and make it reality. As his way of paying it forward, Juste offers free training sessions each month to those who are inspired to live healthy but lack the resources to belong to a traditional gym facility.

Thank you, One Spark Denver.
