MABP Delivers Drug Awareness Session at Renowned Good Samaritan School
The Need for Drug Awareness
Drug abuse is a significant challenge for the younger generation today. In India, around 15.8 million children aged between 10 and 17 years are addicted to substances. Specifically, in Bengaluru, the city reports more than 300 drug-related cases each month. The city has a crime rate of 47.4 for NDPS (Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances) cases and a 40.7 crime rate for drug consumption. These alarming statistics highlight the urgent need for drug awareness sessions in schools.
Our Session at Good Samaritan School
Our team visited Good Samaritan School with a mission to educate the students about the harmful effects of drug abuse. The session was interactive, engaging, and designed to resonate with the students. We discussed various types of drugs, their effects on the body and mind, and the legal implications of drug use.
We also emphasized the importance of making informed decisions and resisting peer pressure. The students were encouraged to ask questions, share their thoughts, and express their concerns.
"Each person does see the world in a different way. There is not a single, unifying, objective truth. We're all limited by our perspective." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is our job to give perspective to our young generation to help them choose
what is right and what not.
