Prevention campaign “Drug Addiction has no Future” dedicated to the International Children’s Day was held with the students of the M.G. Yadrov classes patronized by the Russia’s Investigative Committee on 23 May 2014 in Our Lord Savior and Transfiguration Rehabilitation Center in the village of Temnolesskaya.
The campaign started with a welcoming speech made by Stavropol Territory Duma deputy, Head of Our Lord Savior and Transfiguration Rehabilitation Center Nikolai Novopashin, who told about a problem of drug addiction in the modern society and the Center he had organized for rehabilitation of drug and alcohol addicts.
Senior assistant to the Head of the Stavropol Territory Investigations Directorate Major of Justice Lyudmila Artamonova noted that “prevention of drug addiction has to be an integral part of education. Correct preventive activities conducted among teenagers will be a deterrent and will reduce the number of young people trying drugs”.
Headmistress of Gymnasium No 24 in Stavropol Alexandra Budyak added: “For that purpose the Gymnasium holds lectures and classes on prevention of drug addiction, demonstrate documentary and feature films. Such activities give tangible results and have to be held regularly and on a large scale”.
Instructors of the Rehabilitation Center held for the cadets lecture “Be aware to live” explaining the basic ways to see different kinds of intoxication, clarified the importance of building in teenagers vigilance to that problem, told about real social and medical serious effects of drug addiction.
At the end of the event cadets and instructors of the club for military tactic games “Voroshilov Sniper” played a team military tactic laser tag game using models of firearms, airsoft equipment and pneumatic rifles equipped with electronics. Instructors of military patriotic club “Russian Heroes” familiarized the cadets with different types of small arms.
The campaign is an important measure aimed at prevention of drug addiction among the younger generation and is in line with the main mission of the International Children’s Day – drawing attention to non-children problems and searching the solutions.
That won’t be a sole campaign. Considering the urgency of the problem, next school year 2014-2015 the Stavropol Territory Investigations Directorate together with Gymnasium No 24 and Our Lord Savior and Transfiguration Rehabilitation Center plans a number of activities under a single name “It is trendy to be healthy” among the cadet classes sponsored by the Investigative Committee.
