12 The Curse of Young Migrant Workers Driven by poverty, many young people come with dreams of jade/gold riches All types of drugs (Heroin, ATS, opium) are easily available and cheap No riches found, only drugs found Factors conducive for using drugs: pain (physical, mental), hopelessness, boredom, homesickness, peer pressure, easy availability 1 2

14 And Now still more young people keep migrating to the area chasing fake dreams forced by poverty in a further degrading national socioeconomic climate no paradise for them but a one way ticket to hell? How more have to die while Government, donors and civil society look on 1 4
