Breaking Point's New Methods and Programs for 2010

Posted by Jeff | Monday, November 30, 2009

This year, as part of the regular activities of Breaking Point Foundation to help prevent substance abuse, particularly drug addiction, among high school students, our organization conducted programs in Palawan Natioal High School in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Gen. Pio del Pilar National High School in Makati City and Manggahan High School in Pasig City. These programs were in partnership with Manna Worldwide, Sumulong Baptist Church, Sumulong Baptist Church – Makati and other organizations in the US who share the same philosophy as our organization. The goal has always been to address the root of the problem of teenage drug abuse.

This coming year, Breaking Point Foundation hopes to expand its methods of preventing drug abuse buy providing statistics and educational materials with the help and information from DrugFreeWorld.org. We hope that this partnership will help us develop new methodologies and programs that we can offer in schools.

Part of substance abuse is alcohol abuse, drug addiction and even the abuse of unprohibited substances such as pain relievers. One example of a pain reliever that can be easily abused is Tramadol. Since a lot of people can buy tramadol cheap, it is easily accessed. Those who are experiencing lots of physical pain sometimes turn to tramadol capsules for relief. There is nothing wrong with this of course but when they try to get this drug without prescription and become very dependent on it, then that is already a manifestation abusive behavior towards this pain reliever. To know and learn more about the proper use of Tramadol you can search for tramadol medication bluebook in search engines.

Our organization hopes to help people learn about particular drugs and show statistics and real life experiences of former drug addicts to students next year. With this as part of agenda, we also hope to reach more even as we try to go to places we have never been before.

This week, when I went to the bank to make a deposit, I bumped into my boss. He is leaving for the US in a few weeks and has been very busy that we do not get to talk a lot. While standing in line, we were able to talk for a few moments and he mentioned about a trip to Africa next year, around May or June. I will need to raise about $2,500 for the trip and was glad to hear that a group has already committed to provide $1,000.

The trip to Kenya and Tanzania will be a Breaking Point Missions Trip and we will be working with a former colleague who is now based in Kenya. My boss mentioned about a Safari trip and I’m excited to be able to see the wild on a 4x4, or hopefully on a toyota fj cruiser. Cars like the bentley continental gt and the lexus would not be well appreciated in that kind of a trip, because of the terrain.

But, anyway, I am excited about the trip. It is a great experience but I am most excited to meet the people in Africa. I will start praying for that trip and that God would use our team to minister to the people in Kenya and Tanzania.
