Describe the challenge you want to address:

Problem: Too many stores selling marijuana-related products near schools. We need surveillance and control of these stores because there are minors who can obtain the items sold in these stores. We need more awareness to gather young people and involve them in productive activities.

What is the solution to the challenge?

The problem affects young people. The solution is programs in schools, churches, and community organizations to inform young people and parents about the dangers of drug consumption and to create activities for youth aged 10 to 17, where they can receive therapy to release all their frustration. These groups could meet once a week.
