Doha, Qatar: Under the auspices of the Department of Youth Affairs at the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the youth body at Al Rayyan Sports Club presented an awareness course on the goals and harms of narcotic substances under the title ‘No to Drugs’.
The most important ways that young people should follow in order to avoid falling into the clutches of drugs were discussed, such as exercising, not isolating inside the house in a separate room, choosing good company, maintaining prayers, developing religious faith, and filling their free time with useful things such as participating in clubs and youth center activities. And other activities provided by youth institutions in general.
This awareness and training workshop is considered one of the best workshops that clubs, youth centres, bodies and institutions must be careful to present to their members to emphasize and convey the message of the danger of drugs and the necessity of staying away from them. Therefore, there is a keenness on this awareness workshop to spread the benefit. Everyone have to.
For his part, Faisal Al Hammadi, head of the youth team at Al Rayyan Club, stressed the importance of the workshop in educating young people about the harms of drugs and the extent of the negative effects resulting from this dangerous habit.
He said: “Young people must make good use of their free time and benefit from what benefits them by participating in useful summer activities, whether cultural, sporting or other,” warning against bad friends who play a major role in trapping their children and push them to deviate towards drugs, noting that the club’s youth body is keen to hold meaningful lectures and attract the largest number of participants to attend these lectures and address topics of interest to young people.
