I was really impressed with the information, rather than opinion, delivered by the personnel of Foundation for a Drug Free World. It gave straight information from many of those who had experienced drug problems personally and delivered facts about what the drugs did. As a health educator I can use this in the real fight to educate all those in our society, not just the students, in a way to evaluate whether to take a drug or not. As someone who has operated "drug treatment" programs I know there is much to be looked at in what is "effective" treatment.

I have helped the Foundation for a Drug Free World with a couple of events. The response from the kids and the teachers/counselors was rave, just about every time.
The program is very easy for the volunteer. The Foundation provides booklets, DVDs and curricula that educate kids and teenagers about the REAL truth about drugs. The DVDs explain what the drugs are made of and how they are used, where they come from, etc. Then they have ex drug users talk about their experiences with the drugs and what happened to them. Its pretty hard hitting but the program can be modified for younger audiences. For teens it helps them with the information they need to make their own decisions.
The modified program for younger audiences is so much fun to deliver. The kids are really curious and this teaches them early on that drugs are bad for you. They get sworn in as "drug free marshals" and understand why they shouldn't do drugs.

I have volunteered to work with The Foundation for a Drug Free World for several schools and youth groups around NYC. The program is great in that it is flexible enough to deliver to kids of all ages. Younger kids learn what drugs are and what they can do and pledge that they won't take drugs. Older kids learn from videos of people their own age that have taken drugs who talk about their experiences. Information is given on what the drugs are composed of so they can learn what they're putting into their bodies. And most of all, the foundation gives out free literature educating people about each drug. These are given to the schools - the teachers and the kids can take as many as they want and give them to their families and friends. The school administrators love the program and refer it to others...

Foundation for a Drug Free World is an amazing foundation. The children are the future and by educating them on drugs as well as educating adults is truly the way to solve many problems we are facing now and creates hope for the future. Drugs not only destroy an individual, but destroy the people around them. To stop the use of drugs you have to reteach people what they are, because in todays society it seems that we have lost truth about drugs. The media and society as a whole glorifies drugs and the drug culture. Not only illegal drugs but prescription drugs such as Ritalin which is over-prescribed and over-used by CHILDREN. The foundation is very organized and uses informative and captivating resources such as booklets and public service announcements to capture the attention of children and adults alike and tear down the blinds society and the media have set up about drugs.

This drug free program is so simple to understand. Kids and adolescence get the true information about drugs. In elementary school, I went through the D.A.R.E. program and it isn't comparable at all to Foundation for a Drug Free World. First, this program is supported by volunteers who give their time because they know it works, not because they are paid officials. Next the information is so well researched children are provided with the facts. Seeing people's reactions after becoming enlightened about the truth about drugs is incredible!

Several months ago I sent out an extension course to a friends son , who was serving 6 mos in the Dutchess Cty. Jail for a misdemeanor . He completed that course . When he came home I questioned him on the course and I was told every inmate in the facility wanted to do this , wow I said we need to get donations for this to happen . Then I got an idea . Let me contact the correctional facility and get the route to city govt. on this . I'm doing this now . I can't wait to see the results . I believe if councilman and criminal judges and prosecutors receive a letter and a DVD on this way to happiness program and realize how much it helps their community and also what it will do for their campaign at re- election it will be a win , win for everyone . Truly bud Arimento

Working with Foundation for a Drug Free World has been very fulfilling. The materials are very good, and the feedback is great. It is really making a difference in the community, and Foundation for a Drug Free World works WITH the community and schools to educate and have kids make their own commitment to live a drug free life.
