The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) leads the international campaign aimed at raising awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society and especially to young people. Teenagers and young adults are particularly vulnerable to using illicit drugs. The prevalence of drug use among young people is more than twice as high as that among the general population.

Royal Thai Government observes The International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (26 June) by convening anti-drugs campaigns and other corresponding activities nationwide.

RADION International has launched an drug awareness campaign as part of its community development project(CDP) in Phetchabun Province. This is home to approximately 14,000 Hmong villagers and is currently the  largest concentration of Hmong hill tribesmen in Thailand.

We have also garnered Khek Noi School’s support for this initiative and RADION will be speaking to some 1000 students this afternoon. We also thank the Office Of Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) for their generous support of anti-drug materials for this campaign.
