Over One Million Booklets: Drug-Free World’s Massive Drug Prevention at the 2024 Paris Olympics
During the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the Foundation for a Drug-Free World (DFW) emerged as a key player in the global fight against drugs. Recognized by the UN for its efforts in drug education and prevention, DFW distributed over one million informative booklets to athletes, locals, and visitors, highlighting the risks of substance abuse and promoting informed decision-making for healthier living.
Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 27th Aug 2024 – In Paris, France, during the 2024 Summer Olympics—a global celebration of sportsmanship and unity—a significant movement quietly emerged: the fight against drugs. With over 6 million people having gathered in the city and other host venues, hundreds of volunteers from Non a la Drogue, Oui a la Vie (No to Drugs, Yes to Life Association, the French chapter of Foundation for a Drug Free World) were delighted to find broad-based support from individuals and groups eager to contribute to the cause.
Central to this cause was the Foundation for a Drug-Free World (DFW), an organization recently recognized by the UN with Consultative Status to the Economic and Social Council for its worldwide efforts in drug education and prevention.
Drugs are at the root of immeasurable human suffering
“Drugs are at the root of immeasurable human suffering,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres in his message on the International Day Against Drug Abuse this year. “Evidence-based drug prevention programmes can protect people and communities alike, while taking a bite out of illicit economies that profit from human misery.”
During the Olympics, DFW focused on distributing over one million copies of “The Truth About Drugs” booklet to Parisians, athletes, authorities, and tourists in just a few weeks. These informative booklets, available in multiple languages, provided detailed insights into the risks associated with various substances such as cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, alcohol, and prescription drugs. They highlighted the impacts on physical and mental well-being and offered strategies for resisting peer pressure—crucial in an environment of high performance and stress. The goal was to equip individuals with the knowledge and resources to make informed choices about their health and well-being.
In addition to this massive distribution, DFW regularly hosts talks and workshops worldwide in schools, associations, companies, law enforcement agencies, and youth organizations. These sessions explore the reasons behind drug use, patterns of addiction, and the short, medium, and long-term consequences of substance abuse. Emphasizing awareness in decision-making is key to leading a fulfilling life. DFW’s approach is rooted in extensive experience and evidence-based education, focusing on the realities of drug abuse and its harmful effects.
DFW’s recent acknowledgment by the UN ECOSOC underscores its dedication to collaboration and effectiveness in fostering drug-free communities. The organization continues to expand its reach, implementing initiatives across different nations and collaborating with governments, schools, and healthcare entities, making a noticeable and much-needed impact in curbing drug use and related issues.
Engaging everyone to fight drugs
As Pope Francis said just before the Olympics, “All social, civil and religious institutions must be united to do what we do best and together create community. We can all collaborate and be part of sporting, educational and community spaces“. “And we can only but agree with these words” said Ivan Arjona-Pelado “and in fact members of the Church of Scientology have been tackling this issue and joining forces with others since at least the late 60ies” he concluded.
Through the whole combined experience, an important accomplishment of DFW is by now its ability to engage people during crucial stages of their development. By offering age-appropriate information and resources, DFW helps prevent drug use before it begins. With over 100 groups across Europe, the network of Drug-Free World chapters extends support and guidance, particularly to youth, helping them choose not to start using drugs or to stop early if they have begun.
During the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Foundation for a Drug-Free World empowered both young individuals and adults to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being. Hundreds of shopkeepers around the Olympics enthusiastically contributed to this worthwhile task.
“Reaching out with a million Truth About Drugs booklets was a huge challenge,” said one Non a la Drogue volunteer asw can be read at the Scientology News website. “But we were welcomed by fans at Olympic venues and people we met on the streets. Shopkeepers saw the importance of sharing these booklets with their customers and were eager to take part in our outreach. We took on the challenge and hitting that target was amazing.”
“I heard so many poignant stories from people of all ages and backgrounds. Nearly everyone we spoke to suffered personally or experienced the devastating effects of drug abuse on a loved one or friend,” said another volunteer. “It was empowering to see how many people took our booklets seriously and wanted to contribute to our campaign.”
The success of DFW’s activities during the 2024 Paris Olympics highlights the power of education and prevention. By providing information and resources, DFW has empowered individuals to make informed decisions for healthier living, offering an opportunity for hundreds of thousands to inform others in their families and communities. Beyond the Olympics, DFW continues its mission through a growing network of volunteers and partners.
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World (DFW) is an NGO supported by members of the Church of Scientology. “No one in France has ever carried out such impactful drug prevention activities within a few weeks, reaching not only locals and nationals but people from around the world,” said Ivan Arjona-Pelado, EU Representative of the Church of Scientology. The Church’s commitment to educating people about drugs and preventing substance abuse is rooted in its founder, L. Ron Hubbard, who strongly believed in the importance of education for an individual and their freedom and rights to live a drug-free life. Members of the Church actively contribute their time, resources, and expertise to further DFW’s mission, ensuring its impact extends globally.
The Scientology religion, succesfully let since decades by its ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, was founded by author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard. The first Church of Scientology was formed in Los Angeles in 1954 and the religion has expanded to more than 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups, with millions of members in 167 countries.

Keynode Unveils Game-Changing Update to Simplify Crypto Staking and Boost Accessibility
Keynode, a crypto staking platform, has launched a new feature to make crypto staking great for all. This solves the major entry barriers to staking and aims to bring broader adoption of blockchain through simpler staking processes and more transparency.
The announcement shows Keynode’s commitment to remove technical barriers and give investors a way to interact with crypto staking platforms securely and easily. By making staking easier, Keynode lets users unlock their digital assets and participate in the networks with ease.
The Growth of Crypto Staking Platforms
Crypto staking is growing as the preferred way to earn staking rewards within blockchain ecosystems. Unlike traditional mining, crypto staking uses the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism which is energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Investors who stake contribute to the network security and get crypto staking rewards from transaction fees and newly minted coins.
Keynode’s new update comes at a time when staking is getting more popular. As more blockchains adopt PoS models, crypto staking platforms that make staking rewards more accessible are becoming a must have.
A New Staking Rewards Era
The updates to the platform are part of a bigger trend in the industry: crypto staking platforms becoming user-centric hubs that focus on simplicity, security, and accessibility. By improving the staking experience, the crypto staking platform will attract a broader range of investors from beginners who want to explore digital assets to seasoned professionals looking for diversified opportunities.
One of the biggest changes in this update is the reduction of staking thresholds. Traditional staking methods require big investments and technical knowledge such as running a validator node or holding a minimum but high deposit to start crypto staking. The platform’s new system allows investors to stake with much lower amounts, making crypto staking more accessible to everyone.
Staking Made Easy
The platform now has a user-friendly interface to make staking of crypto assets easier. Investors can select their assets, stake them with a few clicks, and monitor their earnings. The system takes care of the technical aspects of crypto staking like syncing to the blockchain so that even first-time users can stake with confidence.
Besides ease of use, the staking platform also has 24/7 customer support to assist users at any stage of their staking journey. This focus on user experience means even those who are new to staking can navigate the platform. By working with regulated entities and implementing industry best practices, the platform safeguards users’ assets and it’s also compliant with global standards.
What This Means for Investors
This launch means investors have less barriers to earn passive income through crypto staking. Users can start crypto staking with smaller amounts and have support at their disposal.
This also fits with Keynode’s vision to empower users by offering staking plans that cater to different investment goals. Investors can choose staking plans that suits their needs from short term to long term.
The platform’s new feature is a stepping stone for future developments to make the crypto economy more accessible. As blockchain technology advances the staking platform will continue to support its users with more tools and resources to make participating in decentralized networks easier.
About Keynode
Keynode is a crypto staking platform that makes staking easier for investors worldwide. Security, flexibility, and user experience are their focus so that users can stake and earn rewards while being part of the blockchain technology.
