Kambia Alcohol Policy:
Ensuring Safety, Reputation, and Program Success
As participants in Kambia's international education programs, students act as ambassadors for our organization. To cultivate a professional and safe atmosphere for all, we uphold a strict alcohol policy across all program locations. Alcohol consumption is exclusively permitted during a celebratory event on the final night of the program, as per each university internal policy. ��Important Considerations:
Underage Drinking: Consumption of alcohol by individuals under the legal drinking age of the host country is strictly prohibited.
Local Laws and Regulations: The ability to consume alcohol is contingent upon local laws and regulations, and is closely monitored by Kambia staff.��Zero Tolerance for Drug Abuse: The abuse and sale of narcotics are strictly forbidden and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
This document also outlines why we have taken this policy.
OVERVIEW
Safety First
Alcohol consumption can impair judgment, increase the risk of accidents, and compromise personal safety. By prohibiting alcohol abuse, we minimize the risk of harm to our participants.
Maximizing Program Impact
Our programs emphasize social responsibility and positive community engagement. By prioritizing mindful interactions and abstaining from alcohol consumption outside of the designated event, participants contribute to a more impactful and meaningful experience for themselves and the communities they visit.
Fostering Cultural Competence
Meaningful cultural immersion necessitates a clear mind. By abstaining from alcohol consumption, participants enhance their ability to engage respectfully and authentically with the local culture. This promotes genuine understanding and appreciation, free from the potential distractions or inhibitions associated with alcohol use.
Maintaining Reputation�Our organization has a well-established reputation in the communities we serve. By maintaining a strict alcohol policy, we ensure that participants consistently represent our values and uphold the trust and respect we've earned over the years.
Our no alcohol policy extends beyond mere rules; it reflects our dedication to the safety, well-being, and success of every participant. By adhering to our core values, this policy ensures a safe, enriching, and culturally sensitive experience that maximizes the impact of our program for all involved.
