I was going to write something cute today. Then we got the phone call.
I was sitting in the office of Cambodian Self Help Demining when the call came in from the village chief of the first small 'low priority' village we are to clear. He wanted to know when we could come up and start demining. He was pretty frantic. Five minutes earlier a truck had run over an anti tank mine and five of his villagers died a pretty ugly death.
This is why I've gone to Cambodia.
This is why I started the Landmine Relief Fund.
We're still raising the money to get to Chrung, the village that suffered the accident.
We're still trying to get our story out.
I will be in Chrung in a week to see CSHD begin their survey. I hope we all get back. Yeah - this is serious stuff. It'll kill you.
