INTRO:
    Ninety percent of the world’s opium comes from
Afghanistan.
      It’s little wonder then the country has an epidemic of
heroin addiction.
      The World Vision Update’s Peggy Wehmeyer says
thousands seek treatment every day, but are routinely turned
away… (:12)



PAK LENGTH: :39
OUTCUE: “…live without heroin.”



ANCHOR TAG:
   That’s Peggy Wehmeyer.

PAK:
      His name is ah-sah-DULL-uh (Assadullah).
      He’s been a junkie for ten-years…


(SOT/ASSADULLAH @ :09 "All my veins in my arms are finished, so I inject
into my femeral vein." (:08)
     Assadullah spends his days begging for money to feed
his habit.
     And it doesn’t take much in Afghanistan.
     A gram of heroin in the U.S. sells for $300-dollars.
     In Kabul, it goes for about a dollar.

     Assadullah, the addict, has tried to get into one of
Afghanistan’s 40 drug rehab centers.
     But he can’t.
     Too many patients, not enough money.
     So he’ll continue living as a junkie.
     Assadullah says he’d rather die than live without heroin.
