In addition, the DeWill a Renguk Foundation recently donated $500 to Ebiil Society for the Ebiil Summer Camp Programs.
As alcohol abuse has been one of Palau’s biggest health concerns, and driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious problem, Palau in 2008 launched an anti-drunk driving campaign called “DeWill2Live”, named after DeWill Reklai, a young man who had been killed by a drunk driver. Campaigns continue to promote awareness of drunk driving prevention among preteens and teens. The campaign also promotes awareness of drunk driving prevention among preteens and teens. Every year, Palau holds a candlelight vigil, promotes anti-drunk driving messages through a billboard
roadside campaign, and sponsors school-based presentations featuring anti-DUI messages. Ebiil Society would like to thank the Foundation for their kind generosity and dedication.
In January 3, 2019, Ebiil Society began a Youth alcohol/drug prevention life skill building program. Following the completion of the course, the youth were invited to sail on the Maisu to Ngulu in May 2019.
