Drug dealers can�t be allowed to target primary students

Street vendors are our brothers and sisters, and neighbours whom we trust with the welfare of our children for the reason that they regularly interact with them in our absence. In return, the children view and trust them as their parents and are confident that the vendors will not sell them harmful substances.

It is disturbing however, when the same people we so trust betray us and attempt to destroy the future of our children by selling them drugs.  Many parents give their children a small amount of money – P2 or less, once in a while to buy themselves snacks during lunch break or in the event there is no food at school.
