LaSan Vietnam Project 2002
TAÂN CANG POST DETOXIFICATION CENTER
[TCPDC]

I- DESCRIPTION

Detailed description of the project

Drug addiction has become a global problem and has caused greate havoc among young people.

Viet-Nam government statistics for 2000 assert that in HCM City, there are 17,239 addicts, and among them, youth under 18 make up more than 9%. Moreover their increasing number and young age are sad realities and cause for concern.

During the past 11 years, the Lasallian Christian Brothers of Viet-Nam have operated the DUC MINH Vocational Center and have been successful in providing gratuitous learning and job skills to over 700 poor, wandering street children and handicapped youth.

Now, the Brothers wish to share their educational experience and extend their social contribution to the area of drug addiction, by establishing a Post-detoxification Center for the benefit of the indigent addicts .

The purpose and Objectives of the Project

The purpose of the Project is to serve poor youth by providing education and job skills.

The Project has 3 objectives :

Psychological counseling: To help the addicts to be at peace with their mind, foster self-confidence and trust others persons and society.

General education: To help the boys discover their values and actualize the potential of their personality through learning in secondary classes.

Vocational training: To assist the youth in learning job skills, which will provide an affective replacement for the appeal of drugs, a means to earn and will reintegrate their social environment.
