(2011 Serving the Community Grant Banquet)

지역사회에서 도움을 필요로 하는  미주 한인들을 섬기고,
더욱 가까이 다가가기 위한 프로그램의 일환으로,
나성영락교회에서는 “지역을 섬기는 프로그램”을 2004년도에 시작하였고
올해로 8회가 되었습니다.
후원금의 목적은 미주 한인사회와 우리 지역사회를
보다 나은 사회로 만들기 위하여 노력하는 비영리단체들이
현재 진행하고 있는 사업을 강화하고, 서로 유기적으로 협동하고 서로 도움을 주어,
로스엔젤스 한인 커뮤니티를 넘어 타인종 커뮤니티까지 삶의 질적향상을
돕고 개선하도록 후원하는 것입니다.
2011년에는100여개의 단체가 지원하였고, 그 중에서 62개의 단체를 선정하여,
총 20만불의 후원금을 드리게 되었습니다.
지역을 섬기는 프로그램 기금이
우리 주변의 지친 영혼들의 구원의 빛으로 사용되기를 진심으로 바라며,
좋은 곳에 쓰일 수 있도록 다시 한 번 부탁드립니다.

It’s not just the drug; it’s the whole experience involved in using. How I feel when I use. What I think about the drug. My expectations of the experience. Where I am where I use. Who I’m with. (Donovan, 1988)

o Adolescent drug and alcohol use were predictive of early onset sexual behavior (Mott & Haurin, 1988).

o Adolescents who used drugs or alcohol frequently were more likely than abstainers or moderate users to experience psychological distress and mental health problems as adults (Johnston et al., 2000).

o Alcohol abuse was related to decreased hippocampal volume in adolescents (De Bellis et al., 2000), which may have ab adverse effect on learning and academic achievement. (Hippocampus is the part of the brain that converts short-term memory to long-term memory so it’s essential to learning.)

They may lose interest in activities that once were pleasurable, experience loss of appetite or overeating, or problems concentrating, remembering details or making decisions; and may contemplate or attempt suicide. Insomnia, excessive sleeping, fatigue, loss of energy, or aches, pains or digestive problems that are resistant to treatment may be present.
