MyPR: #LeanOnMe Awareness and Fun Day for Youth to Showcase their talent:
The LeanOnMe awareness campaign against the abuse/misuse of codeine is hosting an art, sport, and recreational fun day with the purpose of giving local youths an opportunity to showcase their talent. This is in an attempt to encourage local youth to rather lean on their talent when in need of an escape rather than being tempted to lean on the substance lean (codeine and soft drink mix).
At the heart of this initiative is ensuring that the students believe in themselves, and love themselves enough to lean on their abilities, talents, and all that they can achieve with a sober mind, as opposed to relying on drugs. The campaign’s approach to communities, media platforms and social media, will teach the youth about the consequences they will have to live with when abusing drugs, in order for them to make informed decisions. Ideally it will discourage the use of drugs and promote leaning on their talents and other avenues that they should aspire towards through a sober mind. #LeanOnTalent #LeanOnMe
The Fun Day will be held at Patterson Park in Norwood from 9 till 3 pm on Friday, 25 March.

Have you tried: Travelling to South Africa?
Did you know this about Johannesburg? Johannesburg City Hall was constructed in 1914 by the Hawkey and McKinley construction company. The plan for the building was drawn in 1910 and construction was started in 1913 and finished in 1914. The style is described as Edwardian Baroque with a portico of Ionic columns and tower with a half dome entrance described as neo-Renaissance. Florence Phillips, an art collector and the wife of mining magnate Lionel Phillips, established the first collection for the Johannesburg Art Gallery using funds donated by her husband. The architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, came to South Africa in 1910 to examine the site and begin the designs, after Lady Florence Phillips had secured funding from the city for a purpose-built museum. The gallery was possibly Luytens’s first public building in the Beaux Arts style. It was built with a south-facing entrance, but was not completed according to the architect’s designs. It was opened to the public, without ceremony, in 1915, just after the start of the First World War.
