Extending support to the campaign, WTBC informed that it has decided to initiate a “reform and restoration process” for residents struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, offering professional counselling and treatment. In this regard, WTBC appealed to those willing to change their lives to submit their names to the Deacons of their respective colonies by May 31, 2026, with assurance of confidentiality.
