Visit to Kaduna Prison by YES Alumni

ACTIVITY:

To celebrate the 2010 GYSD the Kaduna YES Alumni decided to visit the Kaduna Prison to give talks to the inmates on HIV/AIDS, Drug abuse and cultism as well as to plant trees in the yard to fight desertification.
We applied for permission from the prisons authorities and just before we received approval letter there was a crisis in the prison as a result of an attemp to break the jail.
We were highly scrutinised by officials before we were finally granted permission to hold the program on saturday April 24.
The Alumni activity took place at the Borstal Training Institute where Juvenile deliquents and teenagers between the ages of 16-19 years were kept.
Program period was between 12-2:15pm. 70 youth inmates were in attendance together with the school Principal, school Doctor, program officer and a Teacher.
8 YES alumni and a Teacher were also in attendance. Earlier on we contributed towards the purchase of supplies such as soaps and antiseptics worth for the adult inmates at the main prison .
Supplies such as biscuits and soaps were also bought for the teenagers and presented to the school authority.
Trees were bought and planted within the Juvenile home.
Inmates were really happy to see Alumni of about their ages coming to talk and encourage them.They were surprised that Youths could be part of a large and big organisation such as the Peace and Development Initiative ( PDI ) and have free hand to participate in activities.
The inmates asked questions such as: How will drug abuse affect the future of a youth?, What are the dangers of drug abuse to the body? How can one protect himself from contracting AIDS?, How can one know that they have contacted HIV? How can fear and insecurity like is obtainable in Nigeria leads to Cultism? What is the Nigerian Government doing to address the menace and violence related to it and efforts to take good care of the Youths?
