Drug Prevention for 300 Ecuadorian Children

"Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always” Oprah Winfrey

We are in the final phase of the project, for this reason we believe important to strengthen self-esteem and empowerment of 230 students in a very attract mode “WINNERS DO NOT USE DRUGS”, which is an attitude from the inside out, with the ability to say NO. Self-esteem is about how we value ourselves, our perceptions and beliefs in who we are and what we are capable of. 

On Wednesday, August 3, we had the training workshop with the volunteers team, the topic was: “WINNERS” given by the psychologist Nelly Baquerizo.

She explained to them how to do a SPECIAL SURVEY to the students, so they can be able to visualize what they have learned through the entire project during this 2015-2016.

On Wednesday, August 17, our volunteer’s team carries out the workshop “WINNERS” at “Maria Eugenia Puig Lince” School, with a very good response from the children and teenagers.

“A parent’s primary job is to prepare their child for life in the real world. They must prepare their children from the start to be strong, healthy, live independently and make good choices”

This is the reason why we believe that the project must be integral, including teachers, community and parents. On Friday, August 20, the Project Coordinator and Dr Nelly Baquerizo conducted the “Parent's School”, with an assistance of 100 parents approximately; this informative talk was very well received by them.  

The topic was “Different types of drugs and tips for prevention”, many appear to have been motivated to ask about this social problem and different situations they are facing with their children at home.

We like to thank every person who has been part of this project, which started on a paper and today we are near to culminate it, May God continue to bless your life and give you the desires of your heart.
