The students will portray real life issues like Violence Against Women, Reality In Dream, Human Trafficking, Poverty, Financial Problems, Life-Light verses Darkness, Youths to take up Responsibilities and Gambling.
Lomary Secondary School coordinator Josaia Waiwalu said that audience should expect fireworks in tonight’s FM96 Tadra Kahani with Connect and supported by BSPLife.
