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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am planning to undertake a cycle ride from Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. The event takes place February 2010 and the journey distance is approximately 470 KM over 5 days.

My sister, Emily, has been working for MAG for over a year in Yei, South Sudan. She's doing excellent much needed work in the effort to clear the country of land mines, unexploded ordinance and light arms.

Details of her work can be found here

Thanks for reading, even if you choose not to donate.
