The Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation Sierra Leone is currently stepping on the corridors of Secondary Schools during assembly hours to engage young people on the dangerous effects of drug abuse.

Such move is a voluntarily one by the leadership of the foundation and a cross section of the Post-Secondary Internship Students as part of the organizations commitment to ensure young people acquire a successful future.

KUSH is the current drug that is running the lives of our young people in Sierra Leone and some parts of the world. As a Youth organization, we are deeply concerned and worried over the unfolding circumstances of KUSH in Sierra Leone.

Several videos and pictures has surfaced the social media involving Security officers, Driver’s, Okada riders, Kekeh riders and several youths. This is seriously ridiculous, and needs the utmost attention of the Government and Organizations to curb it importation and circulation within the country, if we are serious about giving our young people a successful future.

For the Bai Bureh Foundation, we have started the ball rolling with the campaign against KUSH to ensure Port Loko City a KUSH free zone and this has to do with meaningful engagements in our respective localities especially among our youths.

Speaking on the school to school assembly engagements, the Executive Director for Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation: Cllr. Amb. Unisa Totti Fofanah thanked the school leadership for providing the space to educate young people on the effects of taking harmful drugs that has the tendency to derail their future.

Making his remarks to the pupils: “I feel compelled to be on the forefront of this campaign as youth development ambassador and as someone who cares so much for the development of young people. Today, we are here as your brothers, friends and social comrades to deliver messages on the KUSH drug that is highly becoming a Public Health and Security Concern,” he noted.

He continued saying “We will not sit back to see the future of majority of young people being subjected to harmful drugs addiction because it negative consequences to our various communities will be devastating. That is the more reason we have decided to lend our voices and energy to see that Port Loko City is a KUSH free zone especially among our generation.

You guys are the next generation leaders of our various communities and the country as a whole, but this cannot be achieved if you have decided to surrender your life to hands of harmful drugs. It will definitely bring you nothing but rather a shattered and failed future.

In the past couple of days, I have seen some young people sleeping recklessly in public places all in the name of KUSH. I am imploring you all to serve as ambassadors to SAY NO TO DRUG ABUSE. Let’s engage our friends and brothers to put some sense in their heads to desist from the act of taking harmful drugs,” Amb. Totti admonished the assembly.

In his summary noted to the pupils, Amb. Unisa Totti Fofanah reminded the pupils of how important they are to the human resource of the country and that the growth of Sierra Leone relied on the attention stakeholders give to children and young people to guide their pathways in becoming sane adults for the country.

As KUSH tension has increased over these past weeks, The Bai Bureh Heritage Foundation has taken to their shoulders the burdens of making Port Loko District a KUSH free district.

The KUSH among other drugs sensitization continues within Port Loko city for now!!
