  4. ESTABLISHING of the Suriname Epidemiological Network on Drug Use ( SURENDU ) • OKT 2004 ( GO/ NGO, Drugs treatment centres, University of Sur. Emergency room etc.) Primary data sources: Treatment centres, psychiatric units and judicial data; Secondary sources: Maxilinder, youth prison, etc. • 1st feedback meeting ( feb. 2005) • 2nd feedback meeting ( june 2005)

  5. RAPID Situation Assessment ( 2005) Recommendations from SURENDU network and RSA study reminds us that actions speaks louder than words. The challenges for us in Suriname is to focus on: • Our children (parents to set a good example) • Parents to received drug education • Activities for boys • Focus on people from the interior – creating a culture of seeking assistance and for them to consider alcohol and marihuana to be destructive substances – socially, spiritually, and physically, and to remind them that the liver or lungs lasts longer than the job or the wife!
