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.

Press Release
Structural Repetition: West Red Lake Gold’s New Ore Shoot is Similar to the High-Grade 8-Zone
West Red Lake Gold Mines is currently working towards a restart at the Madsen Gold Mine in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwest Ontario, Canada. A Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Madsen Mine is targeted for release in early 2025. The WRLG management team projects a mine-restart date in 2025.
Vancouver, BC, Canada, 27th Nov 2024 – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of West Red Lake Gold. On November 21, 2024 West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) reported additional drill results that define a new ore shoot at the Upper 8 Target following up on the October 2, 2024 intercepts of 44.17 g/t Au over 1.3 meters and 20.63 g/t Au over 0.5 meters.
West Red Lake Gold Mines is currently working towards a restart at the Madsen Gold Mine in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwest Ontario, Canada. A Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Madsen Mine is targeted for release in early 2025. The WRLG management team projects a mine-restart date in 2025.
“Our main objective this year with the surface drill program was to make new discoveries,” Will Robinson, VP of Exploration told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “We have been focusing on drill targets generated from our conceptual modeling that possess the geologic potential to produce high grades.”
“The initial results we received from Upper 8 were very encouraging and motivated our team to add a second drill to focus solely on this new high-grade area,” stated Shane Williams, WRLG President and CEO in the November 21, 2024 press release.
“Upper 8 was already a shallow geologic analog to the deeper 8 Zone, but with the exceptional grades and visible gold showings we’re now encountering, this target is becoming truly reminiscent of the high-grade gold mineralization Red Lake is known for,” continued Williams.
“It’s still early days, but we believe the Upper 8 target has the potential to become the next new significant discovery in the Red Lake gold camp and supports the likelihood for the presence of more high-grade deposits like 8-Zone yet to be discovered across the Madsen property.”
“If you compare 8-Zone with Upper 8, you’ll see the structural repetition in the way the mineralisation is oriented in these two shoots,” confirmed Robinson. “Our theory is that we may have one or two more of these zones stacked between Upper 8 and the deeper 8-Zone. Next year, we’ll get back in there with the drill, to test that theory.”
The Upper 8 target is hosted within the same lithologic unit (Russet Lake Ultramafic) approximately 750m up-plunge from the main 8-Zone deposit.
Its location in ultramafic rocks, its style of mineralization, and its exceptionally high grades make the 8 Zone geologically unique from the main Madsen deposit.
The 8 Zone currently contains an Indicated mineral resource of 87,700 ounces @ 18 grams/tonne gold, with an additional Inferred resource of 18,200 oz @ 14.6 grams/tonne gold.
“The size of the Upper 8 shoot that we’ve defined is similar in size and scale to the deeper high-grade 8 Zone,” Robinson told GSN. “The new shoot is 30 meters wide and 130 meters along plunge. We’ve only got 15 or 16 holes in the Upper 8. We are in an early stage of drilling on this target, but I’m encouraged by what we’re seeing. The geology is holding together.”
“The Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Madsen Mine is nearing completion,” stated WRLG in the November 21, 2024 press release. “The final phase of this study involves optimizing underground development and infrastructure sequencing and refining the associated operating and capital costs. West Red Lake Gold is working with SRK Consulting on these optimization opportunities, a process that is expected to take an additional few weeks to complete. As such the PFS is now targeted for release early in 2025”.
The WRLG Pre Feasibility study will be based on:
1. Real Costing: Operating underground at the Madsen Mine for the last year means West Red Lake Gold understands the real costs for blasting, mucking, and haulage of mined material.
2. Final Engineering: The Madsen Mine is essentially built. With the mine having operated as recently as 2022 and with West Red Lake Gold having studied and remedied many of the issues from that period over the last 18 months, there are very few unresolved engineering questions at Madsen.
3. Detailed Mine Plan: West Red Lake Gold has built a detailed mine design for the first 18 months of operation and intends to have 24 months of definition drilled in-situ mineral inventory defined prior to restart, which is targeted for mid-2025. This level of operational readiness far exceeds what is typical at the PFS stage in most development scenarios.
“Today, a tight labour market has made filling mining jobs harder than ever,” reports the Canadian Mining Journal. “Headhunting has become widespread, negotiations have gotten more complex, and as the industry is experiencing a wave of retirements.”
“Training is extremely important,” Robinson told GSN, acknowledging the challenge. “So are working conditions. We have a beautiful new camp at the mine site. Every room has its own restroom. That’s a perk usually reserved for top brass. A lot of the workforce live locally in Red Lake. But we have diesel mechanics, welders and pipe fitters flying in from other areas. In this tight labour market, the quality of the camp is an important part of worker retention.”
West Red Lake has partnered with Horizon North to provide the 114-person accommodations and mine dry facilities for the Madsen mine site.
Typical Horizon North Facility Built for Canadian Mining Camps
The Madsen Mine deposit presently hosts an NI 43-101 Indicated resource of 1.65 million ounces of gold grading 7.4 g/t gold and an Inferred resource of 0.37 Moz of gold grading 6.3 g/t gold. [1.] [2.] [3.]
The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Will Robinson, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for West Red Lake Gold and the Qualified Person for exploration at the West Red Lake Project, as defined by NI 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects”.
