Issue: Drugs and Violence
Why? New drugs have started to enter our community. There’s a shift from traditional Marijuana to harder drugs.

Since our last report, we have made progress with youth groups. We have managed to blend in our project with a Community Cadet Program. This way we can engage our target audience, the youth, as well as members of the community who volunteer with the program. Although the community has not been very receptive to our ideas and our progress has been minimal, we believe that once school starts up again we will tackle the issues once again and see real progress.
