Adopt-A-Minefield in Viet Nam
Don't forget! When the Viet Nam war ended with the death of more than three million Vietnamese, five hundred thousand American soldiers were withdrawn from Vietnamese territory. However 3.5 million landmines and 300,000 tons of unexploded ordnance (UXO) remain in Viet Nam. Since 1975 more than 38,000 innocent civilians have been killed and another 64,000 maimed by landmines accidents. Viet Nam is among the countries most severely affected by landmines and UXO.
Your generous donations will not only save lives but also turn this dangerous area into a safe and productive one for hundreds of Vietnamese families. Donations are tax deductible.
