Teacher collects and discards risky needlesVietNamNet Bridge – The rain was coming down harder and harder, but Gao kept moving around Bao Loc Lake in the central Highlands province of Lam Dong, picking up needles left by drug users. Nguyen Thi Gao collects a needle left by drug users from the foot of a tree in Bao Loc City. Apart from collecting needles, Gao also meets drug addicts and tries to persuade them to give up their habit. "Many drug users, particularly users of amphetamine-type stimulants insult their parents and even commit murder when they lose control," she said. A man living near Bao Loc River said the river was beautiful but was also a gathering place for many drug addicts.
