Love life organization is still
looking out for the well being of the youngsters in our community. Its main objective was and still is to
caution the youth on drugs, unprotected sex, alcohol and abuse. Speaking to The
Informer, one of Love life’s ground breakers; Mega Teleko says Love life is
dedicated to improving the lives of young people in South Africa. “We visit
schools three times in a week to speak to them about healthy living. We
encourage them to take part in sporting activities at school as that will help
them to stay away from bad things such as drugs and alcohol,” he said
Love life is very much aware that
most of the youngsters are easily exposed to bad habits because they tend to
loiter in the streets. Among one of the drugs which kids are exposed to at a young age is the use of alcohol and
cigarette. And this according to Teleko
doesn’t just happen in the streets. “Most young people tell us that whenever
there are parties at home they end up trying alcohol in the absence of their
parents because most parents forget to put away alcohol when they are having a
good time at home,” he said adding that it’s really a concern to discover that
youngsters are exposed to drugs at home where they are supposed to be protected
from such things.
Fortunately, through the use of technology,
youngsters are able to reach Love life ground breakers at any time of the day. “They
can contact us on face-book or even on mix it if they find themselves faced
with a challenging situations, in that way we are able to advice them quickly,”
he said. He further stated that most
young people are now becoming open minded as they don’t mind asking questions
and sending text messages about the most private issues in their lives,” he
stated.
