Follow on Google News | Voices for Humanity Goes the Extra Mile to Battle Drug Abuse with Gergő NémethBy: Scientology Network VOICES FOR HUMANITY airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network. Hungary is a nation with millions of drug users. Cheap synthetic drugs flooding into the country are just the latest enticements endangering its youth. Gergő Németh is taking bold and decisive action to counter the proliferation of drugs and halt their destructive impact on Hungary by educating his nation on the true dangers of drugs. He began his activism by distributing anti-drug booklets on the streets of Budapest. He expanded that to include an annual 2,000 km, 42-day marathon around the country with the sole purpose of empowering people with the truth about drugs. Garnering massive media coverage, it is the biggest sports-based anti-drug event in Europe. ABOUT GERGŐ NÉMETH Gergő Németh is a native of Budapest, Hungary. As a child he experienced the devastating effects of his father's substance abuse. To protect Gergő, his mother left her husband and raised her son alone, instilling in him the importance of keeping a positive outlook in life. As a young adult, seeing friends succumb to substance abuse and descending down the same path as his father, he was inspired to lead a life of activism. Then, after discovering the Drug-Free World educational resources, Gergő set out to teach his country the truth about drugs. Gergő Németh is the executive director of Foundation for a Drug-Free World Hungary. -- Scientology Media Productions, located in Hollywood, California, is home to the Scientology Network.
