Even as DARE Network continues to work in the refugee camps on the Thai/Burma Border, we are looking forward to carrying our Teens for Kids program over the border into Karen State where we have opened a treatment and training centre in the jungle.
20 Villages in Karen State now are providing Prevention Education to their communities, trained by our intrepid DARE Workers. Our next step is to have our Addiction Workers identify some Teen Leaders and start to introduce them to the process of interacting with their Peers. These kids have never had any kind of contact with the kind of programming offered by DARE Network and the Karen people who work in the organization.
Our first tool will be the Frisbee Disc. We use this tool and the game of Ultimate Frisbee to engage young people, both boys and girls. Once they are enjoying the game, we add in substance abuse education. The young people then can share with their families, friends and schoolmates. They can learn what normal drinking is and the great dangers of methamphetamines, heroin and opium.
In the meantime, we want to share with you, our donors, who make it all possible, our 2015 Annual Report. Please take the time to read it and see what and where you have contributed and how we have used your money. We promise the report is not boring.
THANKS FROM ALL OF US AT DARE NETWORK
