However, it does not make Dhila feel discouraged. During the quarantine, the finalist of Top 9 Rising Star of Indonesia 2 has high spirits to learn various things about drugs.

“As a participant, I learned a lot about drugs, what the drugs are, the types, the spread, and the case. Also, understanding drugs from health and legal aspects, ” she said.

“Not all of the participants were students. Some were already doctors. And, some were already working. There were a lot of participants because it covers East Java, ” she added.

While attending a short quarantine for two days, the participants received materials from the National Narcotics Agency (BNN), Police, and Beauty Class. After becoming Ambassador I or II, the Ambassadors have an obligation to conduct drug-related campaign and such.
