Drug Free Future...
Drugs: a man’s getaway ticket to temporary pleasure which bear permanent consequences. Be it alcohol or recreational drugs, the almost imminent addiction to such substances is a bottomless pit which eat away at a person’s body, mind and spirit. As a means of educating people on the ins and outs of drugs and as means of lending a helping hand to those struggling to break out of the vicious cage that drugs encase them in, the LEO Club of Sri Lanka Technological Campus conducted the project “Drug Free Future”.
A two-part based project, its phases are consisted of firstly, an educational webinar which was overseen by the guest speakers Mrs. Kumudini Jayathilake, , the Drug and Information officer of the National Dangerous Drugs Control Board and Mr.Anushka Dissanayake , manager of the Mithuru Mithuro rehabilitations movement, which was held on the 24th of November 2020 from 1.30pm – 3.30pm via the online platform Zoom; the said session was held on a highly successful note where the moderators were able to effectively educate the attendees on how people are drawn into this toxic haven, how callous are the scars drug addiction can leave on an individual’s mind and body and how we can help people trapped in the vicious grip of addiction .
Secondly, the project consists of a poster designing competition where participants are required to channel their creative thoughts and submit any form of creative artwork under the theme “Drug Free Future”. The competition was initiated on the 5th of December 2020 and is currently underway.
In the light of the moment, it is obvious that the LEO Club of SLTC has been able to effectively reach out to people and spread the message on all there is to know on drugs and drug abuse. Albeit a small initiative, the LEO Club of SLTC is optimistic that they have been able to clear the path and turn the life around of someone in dire need of salvation.
