"Yes to Sports-No to Drugs" 25th April 2008
About this event: “Yes to Sports-No to Drugs"

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I Khalida Brohi called Mr. Manzoor Ahmed the co-manager of “Yes to Sports-No to Drugs” and the three young leaders of the event, Sajjad Brohi, (9years) Atta Muhammad (12 years), and Farida Khan(14 years) and arranged an urgent meeting in the morning in the office of Participatory Development Initiatives(PDI).

It was finalized that we have 30 young volunteers that are all ready to implement the project but still we needed to check things for the last to make sure our service day that is 26th April will go finely. It looked like that everything was ready, the brochures, banners and the cricket items. We had so much of time spare to us, Farida suggested we should not waste 25th of April and would do something rather interesting and then it struck me, we had actually published 1000 brochures instead of 500. I suggested that we should go around the local community of Khuzdar and distribute the brochures to the local youth.

Manzoor Ahmad accompanied with the three young leaders went around in schools meeting with there principals and telling them about the campaign and distributing brochures. The amazing thing was the school principals requested if their students could participate in the event too, we couldn’t have resisted that and promised some of their students join in the cleaning event that is the service day on 26th.

I met with the young girls of Khuzdar by going off there homes and meeting them in small groups and talking to them about the wrong impacts of the drug they use called the huqa.
The other volunteers scattered around town meeting people and informing them of the campaign and what’s it about and distributing brochures.

Finally I met with the crew in the afternoon and we shared the whole day with each other. It was really inspiring the way the young people from such a conservative community responded in enthusiastic manner. Our spirits were high and we were all looking forward to making this GYSD in Khuzdar a hit!
