CURRENT PROJECT – Am current working on the Youth Millennium Anti-Drug abuse project Sierra Leone with support from the B-Gifted Foundation www.bgiftedfoundation.org . The project is about the abuse of drugs in the project by young people in the environment, and my aim is to teach these young people about the abuse of drugs and show them ways to stop these habit. 

 I started the Youth Millennium Anti-drug Abuse Project with the aim of finding solutions to the wide-spread drug abuse by youth in Sierra Leone.  Many people have lost a sense of direction via drug abuse and consequently their way of  life have fallen like the yellow leaf. They have taken a wrong turn in life and this where my intervention in the youth millennium anti-drug abuse project stands, to help curb this growing abuse. Through my association with organizations such as the B-Gifted Foundation, we are helping youth refrain from drug abuse and teach my colleague youth the harmful effect of drugs and trying to find ways to help them stop these habits and take good care of themselves through positive roles.
