People have been turning up at the Drug-Free World booth at the Legend FM Fiji Repo Expo at the Vodafone Arena Carpark to ask for advice and pamphlets to share with people who they know are using drugs.

Drug-Free World Director, Kalesi Volatabu says even a woman turned up to ask how she can help her friends in university who are using and experimenting with drugs.

Drug-Free World has delivered its services to about 70,000 people since they were established.

People have also been asking advice at the Unit Trust of Fiji booth about options they can consider to invest and save money.

The Digital Content and Marketing Officer of Unit Trust of Fiji, Harsha Harsmeetal says a good mixture of people have turned up with different preferences in savings.
