My introduction to the world of landmines started in 1990 when I began working as the Land Mine Awareness Programme's (LMAP) Media Coordinator in Site II refugee camp, located on the Thai/Cambodian border. I led a team of Thai and Cambodian locals to set up the world's second landmine awareness programme, after Afghanistan, funded by the International Rescue Committee (IRC). Over the next 10 years I worked in various capacities landmine awareness for several Aid Agencies & UN Departments based in such mined countries as Cambodia, Angola, Kosovo, Laos and Mozambique. |
