Instructions

When you are sick, the people who take care of you along with the doctor, give you medicine to heal you. Unfortunately, many children, youths and adults take illegal drugs or substances which cause terrible physical and mental damage and may also lead to death. Drug addiction and drug trafficking make them feel tied up in chains.

Think of the people you know or have heard of on the news who have become drug addicts.
On a blank sheet of paper, design a poster by drawing a chain and by writing a message against drug abuse.
Light the candle and place it on the chain. Pray so that drug addicts will be free from this terrible addiction.
