New DVD: From Landmines to Schools: Landmine Removal in Mozambique
This free 15-minute movie is both dramatic and inspirational.
- Hear from one Mozambican who lost his leg to an undetected mine.
- See big machines clear away the brush so that explosive-sniffing dogs and their human partners can search an area.
- Witness a dog's discovery of an unexploded landmine and workers on their hands and knees combing the ground inch-by-inch in order to pinpoint the exact location of the mine.
- Watch the workers' jubilance when a mine explodes without injuring person or dog.
- Thrill to the raising of a new school where children safely carry on their studies-- a school that was built in a field once shunned by the community because it was filled with dangerous landmines.
