From a public relations point of view most young people lack a communication skill with their parents that is why they end up doing crime because they want money to buy something for themselves. Dr Aleit Pretorios and the centre have given a new leas on a life of a 18 year old boy who was addicted to drugs.

this is a really great innatitive, is it possible for you to get one of them to come and address us?
ReplyDeleteI can do that.
DeleteThen i suggest the community should start community engagements in which the cammpaign focuses on how to discourage the youth into using drugs.
ReplyDeletethat good
Deletethe program is good for youth so that they know that drugs are not good.
ReplyDeletedo you think youth ever think that drugs are not good
DeleteIndeed, we surely need these types of campaigns in our society. They are good and several people will learn their lessons that drugs are not good in thier lives.
ReplyDeletethese campagn come in our communities but we ignor them when they are there.
DeleteWow, it is so great and so inspirational to see see someone changing from being bad. You know with the drug problem I though it was hard to quit, I wonder how Jonathan managed to live atransformed life and do something better with his life. Such campaigns must be made familiar to young people
ReplyDeleteI think it was hard even for him to stop.
Deletechange is good,it shows that he was determined to change his life.this is inspiring,drugs are not good at all.
ReplyDeleteHe knew what he wanted in life.
DeleteDrugs have become a serious issue in our society because the ussage of drugs led to crime and rape.
ReplyDeletetrue that Tumi.
DeleteEish the issue of drugs touches me because the youth of this country is going down the drain because of drugs, communities should help the government in fighting drugs
ReplyDeleteit go down with a small thing, thaat doe not even talk.
DeleteDrugs have taken over the lives of our peers its time to make a change.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you,Drug addict muust clean-up their lives or otherwise they perish.The is help out there, people need to get it when the is still time to do so.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing about any addiction is the fact that it is really up to the addict to change. Many genuinely do change and do good for themselves, but sadly others don't. People do not value second chances and take them for granted, they realize what they have lost when it is too ;ate.
ReplyDeleteThe big issue is that how can one change while there are lots of adverts promoting different types of drugs such as alcohol. Its a good thing that the community of brixton took efforts to fight these issue just hope they can also reduce the number of shops that sells alcohol around the area
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "live with the dead"? Crime does pay good money, yes, but in the end, criminals pay that money back with their lives. Some drug addicts are beyond addicted, they are close to dying, no amount of prayer or rehabilitation can save them. The best thing to do is to encourage youngsters to join organisations that will help them stay away from drugs and lead healthy lives. Parents don't talk no more because of fear of being killed by their own kids.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a transformation.
ReplyDeleteWow that is an inspiration. We need such real people to motivate us.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope that it will make a difference in the community and that they will also co-operate because you can't help people who don't want to be helped.
ReplyDeleteSuch Messages need to reach out to our society and the way you have done this should assist in doing this. People need to really think they lives through and change certain aspects of their lives.
ReplyDeletethis is so inspiering and i just hope it will make difference to our organisations.
