the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking

Yesterday was the international day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking. A demonstration was held to mark the day. the main purpose of it was to raise awareness on the subject of addiction.
Demonstrators called out to join hands to help the addicts instead of out casting them... and to bring them back to the society.
What impressed me the most was that people of different ages participated in this event. Aged and barely able to walk , youths, adults, middles aged and even kids. they all wanted one thing... they all had one aim ... one voice ... "save our nation from drug abuse"
