On January 30th, Mentor Foundation USA partnered with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), The Embassy of Sweden and other partners to host the second annual National Drug Facts Day at The Embassy of Sweden in Washington, D.C.

This event gave high school students the opportunity to interact with top U.S. scientists and learn about the dangers surrounding drug and substance abuse.

The Mentor USA National Drug Facts day 2013, opened my eyes in ways I would never be able to imagine and evoked emtions from me that I didn't know others could. That day kept me open and completely aware of each of my surroundings
