French Scientology Volunteers Bring Drug Education to Cities and Rural Communities

Teams from Non à la copyright, Oui à la vie have taken prevention information into French neighbourhoods, distributing more than 16,000 booklets. The volunteer-led prevention campaign in France reaches families through shops and public information stands.

Volunteers supplied 5,100 booklets in Oberkampf, Paris, alongside 3,100 in Tarn and news eu parliament 3,000 through around 50 Arcachon shops.

The visits also prompted requests for teaching resources. In Ariège, a person working with a centre for young people with disabilities approached volunteers for materials.

Volunteers share the French-language Truth About Drugs materials, known as La vérité sur la copyright. The Church of Scientology and its members support the programme, inspired by founder L. Ron Hubbard’s concern about the effects of drugs.

Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, commented: “Parents and teachers need information they can use, and young people deserve straight answers.”

European Scientologists participate in drug-prevention education, human-rights initiatives and local volunteer projects.
