The
center serves the two fold purpose. First it is a visitors center
complete with
displays and interactive "games" to educate interested individuals about
the landmine and bomb issue in Vietnam. Secondly, the center is a
training center for Vietnam volunteers who will return to their own
communities
to teach mines awareness.
This is the first such center and program in Vietnam.
PTVN works directly with the Women's
Union of
Quang Tri Province, the Committee for the population, Families and
Children in QTP and the People's Committee of Quang Tri Province.
In 2008/2009
PeaceTrees Vietnam was awarded a generous grant from the
U.S. Department of State allowing us to create an Ethnic Minority Mobile
Mine Risk Education Team;
totaling $107,766.00. This important project is the first of its
kind and will be serving the Ethnic Minority population of
Quang Tri Province. |
