The third issue of the youth health supplement “Mishwar Mentor Arabia” produced in cooperation with “Nahar Ashabab” is out.

This issue of the quarterly, which is distributed with the Lebanese daily Annahar, features reports on:

• The cultural, leisure and social activities and events youth can take part in to enjoy the hot summer days away from drugs.
• International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which saw a high-profile round-table that joined the Lebanese Minister of the Interior with representatives from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, civil society organizations active in the field of drugs and the protection of drug addicts, and the Addiction Commission.

“Mishwar Mentor Arabia” falls under the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2008 between Mentor Arabia and the youth empowerment organization “Nahar Ashabab”.

The agreement provides for the development of quality prevention programs to empower youth with the skills and information to become agents of change in their communities, the organization of drug-prevention seminars in educational institutions and youth-targeted conferences, the development of publications that promote the health of youth, and the organization of drug-prevention training workshops to the media.
