Recommendations from SURENDU network and RSA
study reminds us that actions speaks louder than words.
The challenges for us in Suriname is to focus on:
• Our children (parents to set a good example)
• Parents to received drug education
• Activities for boys
• Focus on people from the interior – creating a culture
of seeking assistance and for them to consider alcohol
and marihuana to be destructive substances – socially,
spiritually, and physically, and to remind them that the
liver or lungs lasts longer than the job or the wife!
