I arrived in Hanoi on Sunday March 21, 2004 to participate in the Discover Vietnam trip with Landmine Survivors Network. On the streets of Hanoi the poverty is obvious. Hungry children sit on side walks asking for food. Even in this bustling city, people are living in one room shacks.
Living in America we often forget that the rest of the world doesn't live like us.Our groups of twenty visitors from the United States, all passionate about the cause, met with LSN executive director Jerry White for a briefing. Jerry explained to us the basic statistics on landmines in Vietnam, the history of landmines in the country, and the toll they have taken.
