2. SUCCESS STORY: UNIVERSITY TOUR ON DRUG AWARENESS

 


The drug awareness week is an annual, week-long, health observance that inspires dialogue about the science of drug use and addiction among youth. It provides an opportunity to bring together scientists, students, educators, healthcare providers, and community partner to help advance the science, so that we can improve the prevention and awareness of substance misuse in our own communities and nationwide.

This year we had a much bigger budget and we used it to the full extent by covering 20 high schools and visiting CPUT, UWC and UCT then took to the streets of Johannesburg. 

We would like to thank our sponsors for making all of this possible, the community member who work hand in hand with us. We are nothing without you but mostly, our great team for always going above and beyond the scope. 


Thank you

4. SUCCESS STORY: ROAD TO RECOVERY

We hosted a small gathering for everyone who comes to the center, the goal for this was to show everyone that they are not alone. And there are plenty of ways to have fun without using drugs or alcohol.  The event was organised by our staff members and they did such an amazing job.    Whether you or someone you know is on the road to recovery or drugs, alcohol, abuse, or anger, you are never alone.

Assignment 2: a. Outline the various challenges you encountered with regard to acquiring an online presence

  Creating a blog is not an easy task, especially when some sites refresh themselves or have random pop ups while you are setting up the site. The aim problem was establishing the style of look for my blog as there are many layouts to choose from. I wanted a user friendly and clear look for my blog. I struggled to link everything together because on blogger the icons don’t appear and when you post something it takes a while for it to show unless you refresh the page. I had a few issues with creating a twitter account because it kept on making take that ‘’Are you a robot quiz’’ then would make me recreate an account again. Facebook and Instagram were much better. YouTube is user friendly. With all the socials I created I used the same logo and bio, to make each an everything look the same and making easy to create brand visibility.
