A dangerous Drug very common in kenya BHANG

BHANG
The plant Cannabis sativa is the source of both Bhang, hashish and hashish oil. The leaves, flowers, and twigs of the plant are crushed to produce marijuana; its concentrated resin is hashish while an extract of hashish using vegetable oil gives hashish oil. The active ingredient in Bhang is delta -9 -tetrahydrocannabinol or THC.(THC) in Bhang has been found to have high affinity for the fatty structures hence in addition to the brain, Bhang has been found to affect the liver, the respiratory, reproductive, and blood cell systems.Bhang use causes: a state of relaxation, accelerated heart beat rate, perceived slowing of time, and a sense of heightened hearing, taste, touch, and smell. These effects vary depending on the amount of drug consumed and the circumstances under which it is taken. Bhang and hashish are not thought to produce psychological dependence except when taken in large daily doses. The drug can be dangerous, however, especially when smoked before an activity requiring concentration like driving..
BHANG IS A HIGH ADDICTIVE AND DANGEROUS DRUG!

Recovery means FREEDOM:

Just for Today, from obsessions and compulstions, which used to dominate us,

Recovery means Freedom; just for today, from re-living "family patterns".

That once seemed hopeless or inevitable; Recovery means Freedom, Just for Today to live outside the shadows, cast by others in our Lives.

Let God Change your Life

Picture Celebrate Recovery

Let God Change Your LifeYou may have been raised with a strong Christian faith but somewhere along the way, the path became unclear. Perhaps in the pain and frustration of daily life, drugs and alcohol replaced God and now you feel lost. Our Goal is that u become free from Drugs. Belief in a Higher Power is the basis of the 12-step model and our Christian counselors will work with you to incorporate your personal relationship with Jesus Christ into the existing program structure. Celebrate Recovery When you make the decision to turn away from drugs and alcohol and rededicate your life to Jesus Christ, the past is already forgiven. As you begin to walk in faith. Forgiveness of yourself and others is a vital component of overcoming the past and rebuilding a new life in Christ.

Drug Abuse Poem

When an individual begins to abuse drugs, the whole family is affected. Depending on the severity of the addiction, he may begin to steal or borrow money from the family, begin to act strange, and spend days living on the street. The only thing that is important is how he will get his next high. There may be conflicts ...in the family about how to treat this individual. Some may continue to support him while others adopt a tough love strategy. It is difficult to know what to do, and heartbreaking to see an individual become a slave to a substance.

God can change!

If you are addicted to drugs, ask Christ to give you power to overcome them, and He will. Don’t seek to justify your addiction, but keep reaching toward full and complete freedom. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name:” (John 1:12). Seek the anointed prayers of church leaders and other Christians -- God promises to honor their prayer of faith to help you (James 5:15).
Be encouraged. God will never condemn the person who keeps reaching out to Him -- who keeps trying to grow and make progress in Him. If you sin, ask Him to forgive you (1 John 1:9), then get up and keep moving on and growing closer to Him. And be assured, the closer you draw to Him, the further He will withdraw you from the old life of sin and bondage to drugs.

Try and get free from Drugs...

!!Help the Addicts in Kenya!!

Sports

We normaly have Indoor games but we also try others games and sports but we lack of Facilities.

Water

Most of the time we have water sharrage so we are planning to have some Septick tanks for water storage.

Electricity

Currently power in the major Problem so we are planning to generate our own power from wind or buy a good generator.
