San Salvador, El Salvador – Aug. 9, 2016 – Dr. Bernard Fialkoff, Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon of Bayside, New York, and President and Founding Sponsor of Foundation for A Drug Free World of The Americas Chapter, traveled to El Salvador to meet with the directors of the International Human Rights Commission and GC Consultants, and coordinate national implementation of the Drug Free World educational and prevention program.
Dr. Fialkoff signed national accords with both non-profit organizations to provide free drug education training and prevention materials throughout the nation. On the trip, Dr. Fialkoff also presented to members of the El Salvadorian Military’s Cadets and met with heads of military to plan for future programs.
Dr. Fialkoff said, “It is important to share the knowledge we have gained as adults with our children. They are the future generation and can be helped to avoid problems that we went through in our lives. As a doctor, one of our roles is to help our community, and that’s why I support the Drug Free World initiatives.” Along with being Cuban born and valedictorian of his dental class of Stony Brook University, Dr. Fialkoff utilized his Spanish speaking skills and position as a doctor to help millions of those in need as will now occur with the new El Salvadorian accords. Drug Free World will provide free drug education materials, booklets, curricula and other supplies to the country in order to deter drug abuse in the country.
In addition to his work overseas, Dr. Fialkoff also sponsored more than 15 drug education booths citywide during National Night Out, then volunteers at the booths giving out more than 7500 free drug education booklets in one night. Dr. Fialkoff elicited the help from local dentists and their staffs to volunteer at the booths as well as members of the National Latino Officers Association of America, YMCA and others. Co-sponsors of the Drug Free World booth included CONALD, CG Consultants, International Human Rights Commission, Bronx YMCA, PAL, Laterna Restaurant and the National Latino Officers Association of America under the leadership of President Anthony Miranda.
