The project “NO!” amazes students again

11 April

In the educational establishments of Mariupol the students look at the pictures which depict the consequences of drugs and AIDS with sinking heart. The project “ No!” which is directed to prevent and to struggle against drug addiction is going on.

This week the youth went to school No 20 where in the assembly hall 120 high school students got prepared to listen to another notations about the harm of smoking and using drugs. As the participants of the project point out when a lot of students are assembled in one room it always starts with laughter and noise. However after the testimonies of former addicts the audience calms down and the children start listening attentively to the lecturer. Real destinies, real problems which follow drug addiction and also the real ways of solution – it is the very essence of the project “No!”.

Kirill Protskov, the youth pastor of the church of Good Changes: “ The majority of students will have to come across this problem one day and to say firmly “No!”. We are certain that it’ll be easier to do if one knows the consequences in advance. The teachers confess that  at this age the children don’t want to listen to them because the pedagogues are not competent enough in this question. “We bring to school the reality which exists indeed we speak about the problem, we show what happens if one day you don’t say “No!”, but the most important is that we offer the real way out of the situation and that is why our lectures are actual.”

According to Kirill Protskov the new level of the work is being prepared, it’s directed to interest the youth and to give the alternative to drugs, to substitute them and to help the young people to determine the course of their life and find the place in society. To achieve this aim it’s planned to create small groups which will patronage a definite school, definite class for it to be possible to use individual approach. It’ll help a child to make a proper decision and find exit in complicated situations without resorting to syringes and bottles.
