The 60 Minutes Fight Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse NPC has just concluded its annual roadshow.
The crew visited several KwaZulu-Natal schools and the Umzinto Prison to raise awareness on drug and alcohol abuse and to pass on the message of recovery.
This year’s awareness show followed the life of one youngster who experimented with addictive substances while at school. The message highlighted the devastating consequences of experimenting with these substances, which affected his life as a young adult.
Schools and other audiences were shown how addiction is a progressive disease that affects people of all ages. They were not only entertained by the brilliant show, but educated as well.
“We extend a special message of gratitude to the Cedars Recovery Centre for allowing their patients to take time off for a few days to educate, empower and give hope in relation to substance abuse and addiction,” said Brighton Hlatshwayo, director of 60 Minutes Fight Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse NPC.
“The message shared was all the more valuable as it was real-life stories being told by people who have experienced the suffering and loss, but who are now on the road to recovery.”
The crew thanks supporters and sponsors who helped make the roadshow a success.
