Last week we saw the arrest of four men, with police seizing cocaine enroute to Australia via NZ from South America, with a street value worth $1.5 million.
While our police continue to track drug rings and interrupt the supply of drugs, tackling the user end remains a priority and one which we at the Drug Free Ambassadors have taken seriously for the past 15 years. While we cannot protect every child from being exposed to drugs, we can make some serious inroads to lessening the impact through effective drug education. This helps cut off the air supply to the dealers.
Our motto has been to give youth and adults alike the facts about drugs – the truth that the dealers and their friends either don't know themselves, or don't say. The Drug Free Ambassadors was originally set up by the Church of Scientology because of the need for an independent, community-based drug education service to work at a grass roots level.
We have booklets to offer parents, teachers and anyone in the community who wants to help educate young people about drugs. Sometimes the hardest thing for a parent or friend is to know what to say. We do that for you in a really engaging and common sense way.
