PHILIPSBURG--Drug and alcohol abuse by the island’s youth is a serious matter that must be addressed urgently, was the message brought forward by Minister of Youth Affairs Silveria Jacobs at a kick-off press conference with the St. Maarten Lions Club on Wednesday.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports will collaborate with the Lions Club in an awareness campaign to curb drug and alcohol use by young people. In the midst of the Carnival season starting, the parties want to get the message out immediately.
