International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2021

The World Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking was celebrated worldwide on June 26th, so ARTM decided to make our own celebration on Sunday, June 27th, 2021.

There was a Carnival of various activities to create awareness about the consequences of drugs, with this year, having an emphasis on the vulnerabilities that the minorities communities face as they are more vulnerable to be manipulated by drug lords.

We would like to thank the associations that cooperated with us in translating the Macau Drug Law to their respective languages – Indonesian Migrants Workers Union; The Overseas Vietnamese Association of Macau; Narcotics Intelligence Assistant Group and the Non-Resident Nepal Association.

We want to show our deep appreciation and thanks to all Government departments, associations, and artists that accepted our invitation to participate and give life to this momentous event. Rodrigo de Matos on caricatures; Sara B. Figueira on facial painting; Magician One for balloons, ARTM ART Team for T-Shirt Screen Painting and Painting; Bobo Hilton C for her beautiful singing and Nav for a great sound.

We had lots of booths with various types of games hosted by ARTM and Be Cool Project with prizes donated by Galaxy Macau; Macau Medical Volunteers Association, We Point, Noah Association, Sheng Kung Hui, Caritas, YMCA, Police Judiciary, Macau’s Women Association, and UGAMM.

 For the tables with arts and crafts and Macau Drug Law promotion, we want to say our thanks to the Philippines Community Alliance, Penduli Indonesian Migrant Workers Concern Group, Macau Vietnamese Association of Mutual Aids.

We all had a great time watching the beautiful and colorful traditional performances from MACAU NO CORAÇÃO, PHILCAM Unity Dance, Macau Vietnamese Association of Mutual Aids and Penduli Indonesian Migrant Workers Concern Group.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated including all our ARTM’s staff that helped organized this amazing and memorable activity, and to all of our guests who came to visit us during this hot day in Ka-Ho!

Support! Don’t punish!

Thank you!
