I'll like to apologize for not being able to update our blog since December; we have been having technical challenges with managing the site. First the computer on which we have most of our field pictures crashed with virus and secondly our friend who has been in charge has not been available; we are gradually moving round the situation and we should begin to give update regularly very soon.
Our plan to give support to as many as 100 schools in each State has taken off in Ogun State and Kwara State with a few schools that have shown interest, the challenge is mainly with securing permission of State Ministries of Education. Many more schools have confirmed their interest and we should be having several training workshops for school counselors and student peer educators starting from next term when schools resume.
Already, feedback from some of the schools has been very encouraging because the training and the young clubs that have been started are beginning to make some impact in the schools and their immediate communities. The principle is that the community would influence the school if the school does not influence its community.
SHOUT OUT ... YOU DONT HAVE TO USE IT!
Endeavor to stay above the influence to use alcohol, tobacco or drugs this holiday even if you have to attend parties; put up a flier that warns about the effects of drugs abuse in your neighborhood ...YOU DONT HAVE TO USE IT!
