Millennium Fellowship Project: No to Drug Abuse!
No to Drug Abuse! It is a project designed to teach secondary School students everything about drug abuse. My team went to Our Lady's Secondary school, Nnobi, Anambra state, Nigeria and taught the students what drug abuse means, different substances that are commonly abused, different forms of abusing drugs, the dangers including the health and social implications of drug abuse and the reasons they should say 'no' to the abuse of drug. We also counselled the students to adopt better health seeking behaviors and to talk to someone they trust if they are emotionally disturbed.
