Helpfulness
There are many ongoing social and medical problems in this part of Myanmar, due to the opium trade and use. We were quite pleased to see the services available in this little town, and the education provided to the locals, encouraging them not to use drugs. The drug education is now commenced in the schools from an early age, in an effort to ensure that the locals make better choices. The impact of opium addictions is widespread in this area, affecting sociological and economic conditions.
