Drug use is a serious problem and has a devastating impact on the youth of Honduras. Academic results suffer and, even worse, drugs undermine health and destroy young lives. The best solution is to reach young people with effective, fact-based drug education—before they start experimenting with drugs. The Truth About Drugs education curriculum is the ideal supplemental aid for teachers, instructors and drug prevention specialists. Our volunteers work with Programa Nacional de Prevencion and the Department of Education to train teachers and students of the dangers of drug use as they receive the curriculum so they can train others. The program began in the fall of 2014 and since then over 2,200 school teachers have received the materials and trainings so they can implement in their classrooms.
