Recently, I spoke with Mrs. Sue-Ann Ras to learn more about the impressive campaign by Fundacion Zinnia: Supla pa Bida, a project in which they provide a breathalyzer test kit so you can blow into it yourself and detect your blood alcohol level. You can see for yourself if your alcohol level is too high and decide not to drive. It places the responsibility of being a responsible driver back into your own hands.
This project is part of the well-known initiative that has existed for ten years now, Amigo Didi. The message of handling your life and the lives of others responsibly, using the breathalyzer, is an innovative next step. Aruba needs this.
The Supla Pa Bida campaign is a movement that unites the community, authorities, and leaders to build a safer culture for everyone, especially during the upcoming festive season.
We all have loved ones waiting for us at home. When we leave the house, we all want to return safely. Especially toward the end of the year, we see more and more accidents caused by alcohol abuse. We can—and must—prevent this.
Prevention is essential and crucial in our community. It is an honor to see that what began as an idea from a family that went through immense pain has now grown into a national awareness movement.
Congratulations to the dynamic team of Fundacion Zinnia and much success with the Supla Pa Bida campaign.
