Raising awareness about Foetal Alcohol Syndrome to protect future generations
Children are said to be the future of the nation, but unfortunately some of them are born with abnormalities caused by alcohol consumption, drug use and smoking before they are born. May being 'Child Protection Awareness Month', the Mondlo Methodist Church took the initiative to raise awareness about Foetal Alcohol Sydrome (FAS), which is a condition that results from alcohol exposure that can affect an unborn baby. The invited guest at the event was Dr NN Ntshangase, a paediatrician from Piet Retief. According to the congregation, the church – as the light and the salt of the world – has a major role to play in the fight against drug and substance abuse to protect the people of God and unborn babies. A short sermon was conducted by local preacher Mr Mbatha. His Scripture reading was from John 13:34, 'A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you.' After the sermon, children displayed placards and gave a prepared speech to the congregation. In her address, Dr Ntshangase explained all the developmental abnormalities caused by alcohol consumption, saying that alcohol acts a toxin to the development of all foetal tissues and organs. The baby's brain and nervous system are the most vulnerable parts. She said FAS may see growth retardation; organ damage (especially the brain, arms, eyes and heart); abnormal facial features; and behavioural problems. Ntshangase then urged all young people not to use drugs, because it's not only their lives that are being destroyed – they are ruining future generations as well. The vote of thanks was done by church steward Dr TP Nkosi.
