Cambodia Female Deminer

Sokhon with a co worker and village leader survey an area she helped clear of landmine at O'Chheukrom village...On August 21, 2006, Sokhon and her team started demining O'Chheukrom village. "One of the areas we cleared was where I used to go to collect water with my daughter every day. We found mines everywhere. That was scary", says Sokhon. By April 5, 2007 the village was finally free of land mines. 69,379 square meters of land was rendered safe. Sokhon's MAG team found 405 mines, 64 bombs (unexploded ordnance) and 164,213 pieces of fragmentation. Villagers started farming the area without fear, bringing a sense of relief and prosperity to the community.
