Universitas Pelita Harapan cooperates with Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (YCAB), visiting high schools in Jakarta, Tangerang, and Bogor to give lectures about the danger of drugs, free sex, and cigarettes. This activity is a part of the Stay Away Campaign by UPH.

?Stay Away Campaign? aims to remind young Indonesians to stay away from cigarettes, drugs, and free sex in order to become dedicated leaders for the country. The word ?Stay Away? stands as an abbreviation for Stay Alive, Worthy, Active and Young ? basic characteristics of the ideal young people.

Several schools are on the visit list, such as Dian Harapan ? Karawaci (1/05), Dian Harapan ? Daan Mogot (20/05), and Kalam Kudus III (5/06).

A YCAB activist, Jerry, who gave the stay away lecture in Dian Harapan ? Karawaci, stated on Friday (1/05) the urgency to build awareness to stay away from those dreadful three things. ?Badan Narkotika Nasional (BNN ?ed.) had shown that 80 percent of Indonesian teenagers age 12 to 14 are drug addicts, this is a very high and concerning number,? he said.

The lecture discussed informative courses for the enthusiastic students about the danger of drugs to their bodies, deadly chemical substances contained in cigarettes, yet, how to prevent themselves from become infected by HIV.

?These facts should be delivered to them to create abstinence and strict attitudes toward drugs, free sex, and cigarettes,? Jerry stated.
