The implementation of socialization, which is coupled with digital literacy for students in commemoration of National Children's Day 2024, collaborated with the Solidarity Action Organization of the Indonesia Maju Cabinet which was also chaired by Tri Tito Karnavian.

To reporters after the activity, she underlined the importance of implementing socialization of the dangers of drugs for children today, the prohibited substances are starting to target teenagers and even toddlers.

"Therefore, we provide provisions to them (students of SMP N 2 Sentani) about how dangerous drugs are. So that these students can confidently refuse offers to use drugs and know what the types are," explained Tri.
