Wong Tai Sin School Anti-drug Ambassador Scheme launched
Young people should remember that there is "no take two for life" and that they should actively participate to help beat drug, Wong Tai Sin District Officer, Miss Diane Wong, said today (Saturday).
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the School Anti-drug Ambassador Scheme, Miss Wong said it was good news that drug abuse among young people in the district was not serious compared with other districts. However, the issue should be treated seriously as it would have long-term effect on society.
She said the Governor opened in 1995 the first summit meeting on drug abuse by young people with the objective of working out strategic plan and co-ordinating various departments to deal with the issue,
The School Anti-drug Ambassador Scheme, organised by the Action Committee Against Narcotics, Wong Tai Sin District Fight Crime Committee and Wong Tai Sin District Schools Liaison Committee, was aimed at assisting youngsters to gain a better understanding of drug abuse problem and promoting the "say yes to life, say no to drug" message.
Exhibitions will be arranged from today to mid-February to spread the anti- drug message.
