MAG - Cycle Vietnam to Cambodia · 25 February 2010 ·

Every single day, 17 people are killed or injured because of landmines and other explosive weapons. Almost half of all civilian casualties are children. MAG finds and destroys these weapons to save lives and rebuild futures; helping people to grow crops, attend school and build homes.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

MAG International supports amazing people doing dangerous jobs to help their communities. Millions of land mines and unexploded bombs litter countries around the world and many forgotten conflicts are still claiming hundreds of victims a year.

Many women are trained and supported by MAG to undertake mine clearance and these brave women earn a good wage for this highly dangerous work. More than this is the fact that once fields and woodland is cleared these communities can grow their own food, and begin to be self sufficient again.

Your donation will directly help communities that have suffered through war and are still suffering sometimes through a fragile peace.  My training and cycle through Vietnam and Cambodia will involve sweat and a little pain, but nothing compared to these people. Your donation will help people around the world change their lives for the better.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
