“This Addiction Prevention Model caught my attention years before, and today, it means a lot to me when I see that we continue to make progress in its implementation in Guanajuato”, said the Governor.
“Because I am convinced that the most valuable that we have is our girls, boys and adolescents, that we must make the maximum effort to save them from addictions,” he said.
“Planet Youth, due to its nobility of objectives, is the most important and far-reaching program of our government. We are talking about changing the lives and stories of girls, boys and young people, so that they do not fall into addictions, and on the contrary, they all become good citizens”, he said.
The Governor added that in Guanajuato there is the strength and spirit to achieve success in prevention of addictions, but discipline and perseverance are needed.
“And we also need the accompaniment and knowledge of the experts who will guide us in this great International Congress. Therefore, I invite you to make the most of all the knowledge that will be shared here”, said Rodriguez Vallejo.
“What better way to learn than to listen to the experience and knowledge of the people of Planet Youth in different countries, and the testimony of mothers and fathers and their children. I know that united, we will have all the success”, said the Governor.
This event was attended by the Executive Director of Planet Youth, Pall Rikhardsson; and the President of the Board of Planet Youth, Jon Sigfusson, who noted the work that has been done in Guanajuato in the implementation of this model of prevention of addictions for the benefit of children and youth, thanks to the participation of the society and government.
