Amr Khaled and he United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
Popular Muslim preacher Amr Khaled encouraged youth to assume a positive role within their communities, pursue their dreams and overcome challenges they might face, at a lecture he gave at the American University in Cairo Sunday.
Khaled’s lecture came as part of a string of public and media appearances he is making to publicize “Hemaya,” a massive anti-drug campaign he launched two weeks ago.
Khaled explained that having a clear objective gives life true meaning, adding that determination is the key to attaining one’s goals.
His campaign was launched in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Right Start Foundation and the Dubai Police.
This lecture, in my opinion, is a great step to motivate youth to participate more within their communities, pursue their dreams and overcome challenges they might face such as unemployment.
