Volunteers from the Scientology Community Centre Dublin brought drug-prevention education to the Clondalkin Festival in Ireland, sharing factual information with families, young people and local residents in a busy community setting.
The activity, described by organisers as a day of meaningful conversations, placed the subject of drugs in a constructive and accessible context. Volunteers distributed educational booklets, answered questions and spoke with visitors about prevention, resilience and informed choices.
Through the Truth About Drugs materials, the volunteers presented prevention as a matter of education and community care, making information available before problems become more serious.
For the Church of Scientology, drug-prevention education is one of several humanitarian initiatives inspired by L. Ron Hubbard and carried eu news sondergipfel out by churches, missions and volunteers in communities across Europe.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and UN, said that such initiatives reflect civic responsibility in practice. “Drug-prevention education is most effective when it is brought close to people, in places where families, young people and neighbours already meet,” he said.
