What should we do?

           The government has done a lot of things to stop taking drugs like such as:

n     Putting laws which fight drugs and smoking, this laws fight drugs as they punish people who plant drugs and who tread in them. So it fights drugs roots.

n     Building clubs where youth could play all kinds of sports they like so youth can spend their spare time in good things.

n     Building a lot of libraries where youth can read and spend their spare time ,as well.

n     Providing addicts with places where they can have good treatment.

And there are a lot of other things that are done by the government to fight taking drugs. But the number of addicts is increasing everyday. So, members should do something, as government can’t solve this problem alone.

And this our experience in our school:

          We have some students in our school who are chosen by N.C.C.M. (National Council for Childhood and Motherhood) to be leaders to lead students & youth to safety and to win the fight against drug addiction. This group of students call themselves “Sort of youth”.  And they gave us their experience.

              So, we (heart to heart team) decided to make a real step against drug addiction and smoking and we got the help from: -

1)     The World health organization (who) as they provided us with posters and information about drugs and smoking.

2)     The National council for childhood and motherhood through "Sort of youth" team as we organized lectures to students in our school and we let “sort of youth” tell students their experience with (NCCM) and what they learned and they taught us how we could  be like them, and they told us about the lectures which they gave to other youth last summer in other schools of Egypt and we cooperated with the students' union in our school to help us in our work then, we began a campgian against drug addiction and smoking and we called it ( anti-drugs )

This campaign contained a lot of activities. These activities were: -

n     Lectures to students about drug addiction, its causes and effects from "Heart to Heart "team members to students.

n     A gallery about drugs and smoking as students presented their painting about drugs from their point of view  (opinion) to discover and develope their talents and make them feel self-confidence and love .

n     Foot ball matches as we encourage youth to have sports as something useful to do in their spare time.

n     We and the students' union also held a seminar about smoking & drugs and (who) would health organization provided us with posters and with lecturers who were as follows:-.

o     Dr. Fatimah El Awa

From World health organization

Regional office for the Eastern Mediterranean tobacco free Initiative.

o     Dr. Mohamed Ghanem

o     Dr. Ahmed Abo El- Azaim

n     We made chat with youth all over the world to warn them against drugs and smoking, then we made a call for help “SOS” and we sent it to our friends and through the internet to youth all over the world.

n     We wrote what we want from everyone (youth, parents, government, families and media) in some papers which we call " advices " and we spread them between our friends and neighbors and between students in our school.

n     We made a paper and we call it “early discovery of addiction” to help us to fight drug addiction and we spread it between students in our school and our friends and neighbors.

n     We made some meetings with teachers who are smoking to persuade them give up smoking and if they couldn’t, they would promise us try not to smoke at school to be a good example for students.

n     We made a website on the Internet to make this awareness reach people all over the world.
