ACUSA ORGANIZES LECTURE ON DRUG ADDICTION AND THE YOUTH
ANTELIAS, Lebanon – The Armenian Church University Student’s Association
(ACUSA) organized a lecture on drug addiction and the youth in its center in
Antelias on March 3.
Given the gravity of the problem specially among the youth, several
international organizations have embarked on active campaign to fight
against drug addiction. Such organizations also exist in Lebanon. Among them
is the Armenian "Horizon" organization of fighting against this dangerous
threat to the young generations.
Houry Djinbashian and Harout Arabian from the "Horizon" organization talked
in detail about drug addiction among the youth today, giving concrete
examples of the dangers addicts face and how they are destroyed physically
and spiritually. The presentation was followed by a discussion period during
which attendants raised concerns and asked questions for further
explanations.
The event served as a warning for caution given that drug addiction is also
a widespread problem in universities and a challenge to start a collective
fight against this dangerous and destructive habit.
