Landmines

This is something I really would like to share with you.
It is Monday evening. I have just seen a documentary called Bomber and Roy on ABC TV. Bomber and Roy are Australian Vietnam veterans who, as part of their own healing, have returned to Cambodia to help clear the many landmines in the country. They are the only freelance mine clearers in Cambodia, and they are doing it on their own steam. They have raised money through various clubs in Australia to buy mine detecting equipments.
In the documentary was Aki Ra, a Cambodian who must be the champion mine clearer in the country. Until Bomber gave him a detector, he was just using a stick to look for mines. He is the founder of the Land Mines Museum at Siem Reap. Aki and his wife are looking after young victims of land mines by housing and giving them an education.
If you ever go to the Angkor Wat area, you must visit the museum. It is definitely a cause worth helping. If you live in Australia and you hear the name Bomber and Roy, you know what they are on about.
Aki Ra can easily be found on the internet. Here is one source www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aki_Ra . The Cambodian people have gone through a lot. So have the Vietnam veterans. They deserve our support. War is horrible, for all sides. If you see the faces of the people, you will surely be touched.
