MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.

On February 26 through to March 7 2010 I will be cycling from Vietnam to Cambodia.It is my first fund raising event and being able to reach my target set by MAG would make the whole experience that much better.

I am currently collecting donations from my fellow college students, friends, family and donation boxes as well as fundraising events, such as gigs. I have also started to bake and sell cakes in my neighbourhood and have offered to take on ironing mountains of laundry and car cleaning.

At the halloween cake sell which took place at Havant College we were able to raise over £45. We also raised the same amount at the clothes sale.

However £2950 is a huge amount for an 18 year old to be able to raise, so I currently need all the help that i can get. Which is why I am using this site to enhance my sponsorship.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Mines Advisory Group gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

The money raised goes to help the local people in their struggle to live as normal a life as they can in the overbearing presence of mines.

£15 will field one fully trained and equipped local deminer for one day
£20 buys overalls for a deminer
£23 buys a prodder to determine the exact location of a landmine
£30 buys a sturdy pair of boots
£32 buys an excavation trowel used to aid the removal of landmines
£40 buys protective headgear
£100 buys a lifesaving first aid kit specialised, for landmine victims
£220 buys a life jacket for the deminer

So please sponsor me!
