Landmine Removal: Restoring Land, Restoring Lives (UMCOR Advance Story of the Month)
Landmines maim and kill, and they do much more-
- they disrupt entire communities. Children
cannot attend school because the school yards and
buildings are mined. People cannot grow food
because the fields are mined. Entire communities
have been dislocated because they can no longer

landmines so that people can resume their daily
activities, reclaiming their land, property and
lives from these insidious weapons.
