Oct 31, 2023 | Team 6 Updates

Starting on October 21st 2023 Team 6 did a ten day tour of Thlat Commune, Anlongvaeng District of Oddar Meanchey Province,  teaching 32 risk education sessions to 872 people in seven different villages.

By the time they wrapped up their ten days in Thlat Commune, Team 6 had added visited Svaychek, Thlat, Chhuetealchrom , Orun, Phdeakchrom, Tuol Brasat and Orsralav villages, all for the first time!

Explosive ordnance risk education teaches people how to recognize and avoid unexploded weapons, even if they’ve been buried and forgotten for decades. Because when you live with landmines, knowing how to spot one is a matter of life and death.
