Detailed description
RC Holy Spirit D3780 with the Rotaract & Interact Clubs of Holy Spirit organized 2nd annual youth forum on Drug Abuse and HIV/AIDS Prevention last October 28, 2012 in cooperation with the Philippine Red Cross QC Chapter. Seventy Rotaractors and Interactors and 17 Rotarians and guests attended. The topics were ably presented by two young, competent Red Cross facilitators who spiced up the forum with fun exercises that evoked laughter and deep thought from the young attendees. The outcome desired from the forum is to help achieve ZERO new incidence of substance abuse and HIV/AIDS affliction among the youth in Quezon City. Forum was timely given the alarming rise in drug users and HIV-AIDS afflictions. Department of Heath reported that the number of cases for the period January-August 2012 has risen to 2,150 (118 of which have progressed into AIDS). Thanks to Rotary Clubs of Camp Aguinaldo, Loyola Heights, New Manila East, Pag-asa, SFDM, and Timog who co-hosted this important event.
