I talk about my bad experience, that drugs are like poison. I motivate other teenagers to make good decisions and to work hard at school. I also make them aware of the dangers of addiction and how drugs can ruin your life. Drugs are horrible and they can take away all the good things in your life. Drugs can also harm your lungs and they can kill even you.
What skills and resources were you able to draw from the community for this project?
Sibanye ladies, St Francis bay AA group and the Sibanye Girl Empowerment Group.
