Description

As part of the world wide campaign to combat international menace of drugs, the government of Trinidad and Tobago together with the UN Drug Control Programme has undertaken a national drug abuse demand reduction project. The project empowers communities to develop strategic alternatives to drugs. Team sports like basketball and soccer help keep young people occupied. Those who have fallen victim to the drug dealers and wound up in prison are taught job skills to help keep them out of jail after release.
