The Amazing Project - Stepping Back to Burma
Organization information
DARE Network (Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Education Network)
Location: Mae Sariang, Thailand
Summary
Political freedom may be coming to Burma, but not freedom from addiction. Drug dealers abound in lawless Burma. YABA (methamphetamines) is the new kid's candy in Burma. Wrapped in pretty coloured paper and sold for the same price as a sweet, the YABA trade inside Karen State has taken off. "The only people not using the drug are babies and old people", said a well know Karen leader. To help young people understand drugs. To educate. To present alternatives. "A free mind cannot be destroyed".
