‘Don’t end up in Balsum Ghut!’ – Shan Mohamed
“We want to try and reach them long before it reaches that stage, also as Rotary has signed on this year to the Youth at Risk initiative. So we are not just talking but we are also demonstrating by our actions that we are supporting the young people,” added Mr Mohamed.
Mr Mohamed was at the time of speaking with this news site saluting the initiative of Follow the Movement (FTM) which would tomorrow February 11, 2015, be staging its second seminar targeting senior students of the High Schools and Tertiary institutions in the Virgin Islands via a seminar titled ‘Show Love…”
The seminar for young men aptly coincides with the theme for Rotary for the month of February which is ‘World Understanding Month’. “So I think that this forum is so timely because this initiative by Follow the Movement and Craig (Craig A. Lake) addresses conflict resolution to some degree so we are particularly pleased yet again about addressing the young men of the Virgin Islands in an attempt for them to get an understanding of what real life is about,” said Mr Mohamed.
Further, he said that their collaboration with the FTM seminar would admonish the young men to become members of the Rotary’s Interact Club arm as it is a community based club.
“For those young men about Interact age limit they are encouraged to become members of the Rotaract Club as they would be welcomed into the Rotary Family and be positively influenced making them production members of society,” he said.
The programme will be held on the top floor of UP’s Cineplex. ‘Show Love – we are responsible for this generation’ which will take the format of a seminar will touch on topics such as prison life, social media, peer pressure, domestic violence, purpose of life, anger management, leadership skills, school dropouts and consequences and tattoos and piercings.
Among the team of facilitators for the seminar are Ms Anthea L. Smith, Mr Julien N. Johnson, Mr Dion K. Crabbe, Pastor Melvin A. Turnbull, Mr Addison ‘Addi’ Nisbet, Mr Roger Mathavious Jr., among others including personnel from the discipline and correctional institutions in the Territory.
