My friends at ONEArmenia posted this video recently about the efforts to remove landmines in Artsakh. I post it here because children living near warzones are their largest causalities.
Far away from the tech expos taking place in Yerevan, is the Mengelenata 2B minefield, which threatens the lives of over 300 people who live nearby, and an 18th century monastery, in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh). The international attention Armenia has been receiving recently won't reach this corner of the country, unless we do something! We're re-launching our efforts to clear the last minefield at Kavak Monastery. Thanks to you, the campaign is already 90% funded! $5,400 is all we need to make sure local deminers employed by The HALO Trust can clear this minefield once and for all. The best part? An anonymous donor is matching all donations! Let’s give this corner of Armenia the attention it deserves.
