Mine Risk Education
In 1998 PeaceTrees Vietnam opened
the Danaan Parry Landmine Education Center.
Situated in the park we cleared of unexploded bombs and reforested,
the center provides much needed services to the children of Vietnam
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. 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.
This is the first such center and program in Vietnam.
