Speaking at the occasion on the essence of the Red Ribbon Club and life skills, Lalneihzeli Sailo said, “Saying ‘No’ to temptations to do bad things is a powerful weapon to stay safe. And, to live a good life, one must choose a good principle in life.”
Sharing her testimony and giving advise to the students, Wendy said, like herself, no one indulges in drugs and alchohol to become HIV/AIDS +, but she has become a victim of the disease because of her addiction to intoxicants. However, she has found refuge and salvation in God and she has left her worldly lives behind. Under MSACS, she takes treatment in Anti-Retroviral Therapy making her fit to actively participate in HIV/AIDS awareness campaign.
