French Scientology Volunteers Bring Drug Education to Cities and Rural Communities

Volunteers from Non à la copyright, Oui à la vie have distributed more than 16,000 drug-prevention booklets across French cities and rural communities. The Scientology-supported drug education initiative reaches families through shops and public information stands.

Volunteers supplied 5,100 booklets in Oberkampf, Paris, alongside 3,100 in Tarn and 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. Support from the Church of Scientology and its members reflects founder L. Ron Hubbard’s concern about Drug Prevention drugs and their effects on society.

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

Scientology communities throughout Europe support educational initiatives, drug prevention, human-rights awareness and volunteer assistance.
