Earn Against Drugs
Written by: Thomas Schmid
RS Promotion's cute singer "Earn" Jirawan Decharoovijit
has been chosen by Thailand's Narcotics Control Board as the new
presenter of their "Life Stand" initiative.
A "Life Stand" is basically a large display stand featuring posters and
general information aimed at educating teenagers about the dangers
of drug abuse.
The stands also have lists where teenagers can write down questions
regarding drugs together with their contact details. Board officials
would then get in touch with them to answer the questions and give
advice.
The board has put up a large number of these stands at locations
where youngster preferably gather, such as Bangkok's Center Point
shopping area and several department stores.
Earn features prominently on the "Life Stand" posters and is happy to
be able to contribute to Thailand's fight against drugs.
The situation has become especially worrying with youths in recent
years, many of whom find it "fashionable" to indulge in drugs of all
kinds.
"I consider this another step in my career and I take my nomination
as presenter very seriously. It is so all-important to inform
youngsters about the danger of drugs and to warn them not to get
involved under any circumstances. I hope that my presenter role will
have a good influence on them," Earn said.
The signer took over the assignment in October from "Tao" Somchai
Kemklad, another pop star, and will carry out her duties for a full year
before passing the presenter role on to another celebrity to be
selected by the board.
