Students learn about bombs and mines and how to avoid bomb and mine injuries.

More than 120 showcased exhibits
feature losses, pains, and heavy consequences that Vietnamese people have
been enduring due to unexploded ordnance (UXOs) left from the war. They also
capture the Vietnamese Government’s all-out efforts and support from
international organizations and individuals for overcoming the war aftermaths
as well as raise awareness of people from all walks of life, especially the
young, of bomb and mine injury prevention.
Major General Phung Ngoc Son,
Commander of the Engineer Corps and VNMAC General Director explained the
decision to choose Dak Lak province as the host of the display. This was due to the
fact that the province witnessed the fiercest battles between Vietnamese troops
and the enemy and was badly contaminated with bombs and mines with 143 out of
its 157 communes affected.
On this occasion, the organizers
disseminated information about bomb and mine injury prevention for students at
schools in Buon Don district and Buon Ma Thuot city.
In the evening of December 9, the
Dak Lak cultural center hosted an exchange titled “Joining hands in surmounting
consequences of bombs and mines left from the war”.
