Hi! My name is Moldir and I am an exchange student from Kazakhstan, currently living in Kansas, Valley Center. I am really excited about this program and doing this project, because it makes me feel like I can really help the community and maybe change the world. I am only 17 years old but I like thinking of the world problems and try to think of solutions. I never thought I could actually make a project. 
So our task was to find the main issue that is happening in our country. I am sure every country has its own problems but I think the problem that I chose may be happening in many countries. I want to help people realize that smoking and alcohol can damage your health or even worse - kill you. A lot of people know its importance but they don't realize that nothing's changing. And I want to change that. This is a fact I read recently: Smoking directly causes over 100,000 deaths in the UK each year and contributes to many more.

I want to say NO to alcohol and smoking!!!

So I want to help people by creating a blog and and encourage them to read and support this idea. I am planning on making posters and put them on walls of school and other buildings.( By asking the permission) Also I want to use social media like twitter, facebook and even instagram by posting those images with signs. I want to try to make short movies about how dangerous it is. It probably will not be perfect at first but still I want to try it. It is going to be worth it.

"100,000 deaths is too much. Help us change the number!"

"Is smoking and alcohol worth our lives? I don't think so!"
