One year after Operation Future began operating in St. Kitts, the programme, which seeks to educate children about drugs, violence and crime will soon be taken into the schools of Nevis.

The programme came into effect in February, 2006 and since then all primary schools and most of the high schools on St. Kitts have been visited by the Operation Future team.

During the visits, the team held assemblies with the students and staff of the schools as well as provided them with knowledge about the harmful effects of drug use and abuse among others.

President of the organisation, Constable Lauston Percival has explained that while he hoped to take the programme to Nevis as soon as it is possible, this couldn’t be done until the leg of the Cricket World Cup which St. Kitts is host to, is over.
