A national hero in my country once said, “Youth is the Hope of the Fatherland”. And it is a devastating fact that over the years, young people are easily persuaded by older peers (at some instances) to drug addiction. In relation to that, it is becoming one of the major social concerns in most countries. It is very unfortunate that the teen’s potential for instance is basically destroyed because of drug addiction.
It is a good thing however there are “information disseminating” ways to overcome drug addiction for our teens. There are sites that give essential facts about the consequences of drug abuse addiction, similar to what those Drug Rehab Centers and Alcohol Treatment Centers offer for individuals who have already become addicted to these illegal substances with the aid of a professional help. In relation to that, there are Treatment Centers in the United States (for instance) where drug rehabilitation can take place with high efficiency.

Beach trips, swimming parties, and out-of-town sprees are typical summer essentials. But there’s bound to be a lull in your vacation, leaving you with absolutely nothing to do. Well, make this season of sun even better by bonding with your barkada while building houses for the needy.
Make your summer vacation worthwhile and help build houses for those who lost their homes after typhoons, floods, and mudslides ravaged their provinces. They, too, are getting more than their fair share of sun and heat — in stifling, overcrowded evacuation camps where they are seeking shelter while awaiting new homes.
Habitat for Humanity Philippines embarks on a Summer Build, an activity that will help raise funds for homeless, affected by calamities, and help cut costs on house-building. Get your barkada to join the blitz build and challenge each other on who can make the best concrete interlocking blocks, tie, and fabricate the most rebars, and lay the neatest bricks. Not only do you get to spend time with your BFFs, you also get to meet new friends who care about change the way you do.
Habitat Youth Ambassador Alex Eduque gives enough reasons why you should get on the house-building wagon:
•Be a volunteer. Volunteerism is fun because you see the immediate results of your efforts. “I’ve found my passion in service, and it’s what fuels me despite the grueling heat and laborious construction tasks,†Alex shares.
•Don’t be afraid to try new things. Volunteering is not for everyone — people have different passions and different outlets to relieve stress. “I’ve found my personal outlet to be volunteerism. However, I do encourage everyone to try volunteering at least once because it really is an experience that opens your eyes to reality. It made me realize how everyone in this world should be granted equal chances and opportunities to live a comfortable life, and thus, as the ones who come from a more privileged background, it is our duty as global citizens to make sure we contribute our share in giving them the chance to achieve this,†explains Alex.
•Have fun while helping others. Volunteerism can be as exciting as any other summer activity because the most effective kind of volunteerism is when there is teamwork. It can be an alternative venue to get a tan, and to bond with friends and family. The best part is, not only are you able to burn calories and bond with friends in the process, you are also able to help others live a better life. You are given a chance to meet people and families you would not ordinarily meet and interact with, and that’s what makes the whole process worthwhile.

The Tip. It’s such a small word, but this open -ended call on our generousity can cause nuch perplexity when eating abroad. So in which countries should you tip? and how much?
- The United State is a nation apart, with its catering trade running on tips. In a bar, you’ll have a miserable evening unless you slip the bar-tender a few dollars with every round. On meal bills, you’re expected to tip a minimum of 15 per cent, though 20 per cent is not uncommon.
- In Italy, don’t give more than about ten per cent to waiter. In Spain just round up to the nearest euro. Similarly, in Greece you might round 38.5 euros up to 40, but there’s no standard percentage. Hungarians consider it unsafe to leave money on the table. Instead, quietly tell the waiter how much you want to give, and this will be added to your bill.
- France is different altogether. A service charge is automatically included in the restaurant bill, so tipping is discretionary.
- The Japanese have got the around the problem by not tipping at all. Likewise, there’s no obligation in Austratlia or New Zealand. It’s just a reward for service.
