Dignity Without Drugs
For two consecutive years, YCAB – Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (Loving the Nation’s Children Foundation) hosted the Global Dignity Day event in Indonesia. We dedicate October to be the Dignity Month as we integrated our message of a healthy lifestyle without drugs with the message of dignity. In the message, youth are encouraged to stay away from drug use and drug abuse, to make the right choices and to reach out for their dreams as the manifestation of living a dignified life.

On Monday, October 20th 2009, we celebrated Global Dignity Day in South Africa with 1,120 (one thousand one hundred and twenty) grade 12 students at Diepsloot Combined School. In addition to students from Diepsloot we also had grade 12 students from Itirele Zenzele Comprehensive School and from St Angars Secondary School. These are students who had previously been “written off” as delinquent youth. To this extent I was astounded by the depth of talent and positive energy amongst them.
