How Esther Used the RDCS handle Alcohol and Drug Abuse in Her Village
Esther has observed a painful reality in her village: many people, especially the youth, are trapped in alcohol and drug abuse. This often leads to early pregnancies and school dropouts—a situation that deeply saddens her. This is her Reality. Her Dissatisfaction grows from watching lives being wasted and dreams cut short. Esther believes this cycle must stop. She desires a better future for her community, especially for the young people. As she enters the Creativity phase, Esther starts thinking of ways to encourage transformation. She believes in the power of prayer, awareness programs, and mentorship rooted in faith and hope. She is convinced that with the right support, people can believe in change. Now it’s time for Esther to speak. She wants to share her voice with her church, school, and local leaders, urging them to support programs that restore dignity and purpose in the lives of the youth.
