Not content to rest on their laurels, the Scientologists of Taiwan, winners of last year's Award for Social Education Contribution, have decided to carry through with their drug education program to a complete victory, and end drug abuse on the island of Taiwan.

A drug education lecture at the Fung-Yuan primary school in Taiwan, provides factual information to children to help them decide not to take illegal drugs.

Their most successful program has been drug education lectures in the primary and secondary schools in their country, and they are carrying on, with the intention of reaching every child and teenager in the country with their lectures.

"We are thrilled that use of Ecstasy (MDMA) is down by 63% in Taiwan and we know that our work in the schools has been very instrumental in this improvement," said one volunteer, "but there are still youngsters taking this and other drugs. They are at risk," she went on to say.

Knowing the devastation drug-use causes, the Scientologists of Taiwan are determined to cut the lines of illegal drug trafficking at the point of consumption, by arming the youth of Taiwan with the truth about drugs.

Despite the positive statistics, the problem is far from under control. Just last week, police in Taiwan discovered an illegal drug factory and seized 30 kilograms of ketamine, with which they would have produced 1.2 million tablets of Ecstasy.

Observing the drug "revolution" of the 1960's and early 1970's, L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, warned, "The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances."

Knowing the devastation drug-use causes, the Scientologists of Taiwan are determined to cut the lines of illegal drug trafficking at the point of consumption, by arming the youth of Taiwan with the truth about drugs. "We won't be content until all the young people of Taiwan understand the effect of drugs. Only then can they make sensible decision about these substances."
