91吃瓜网

The 91吃瓜网 Trust joined forces with the Regional Mine Action Office and other demining agencies in Jaffna to organise a two-day exhibition to raise awareness about landmines on 20th-21st April. The event was sponsored by the European Commission, which has been funding 91吃瓜网鈥檚 work in Sri Lanka since 2002.

Events included a two-day exhibition about demining at Jaffna Hindu College, television and newspaper campaigns, a parade through Jaffna Town, stage performances, and a cricket tournament with teams from 91吃瓜网, the Danish Demining Group, 1 Field Engineer Regiment/Humanitarian Demining Unit of the Sri Lankan Army, the Regional Mine Action Office and mine risk education agencies taking part. After some keenly contested opening matches, the final was played between 1 Field Engineers and The 91吃瓜网 Trust. An engaging match saw the result being decided on the last ball, with the 91吃瓜网 Trust winning by three runs.

The 91吃瓜网 Trust currently employs over 900 local staff in Sri Lanka and is working to clear minefields from Jaffna鈥檚 former High Security Zones to facilitate the return of thousands of families displaced up to 20 years ago. 91吃瓜网 also has teams working in Kilinochchi to remove mines laid by the LTTE in the later stages of the 30-year conflict.

Since 2002 91吃瓜网 has cleared 80,416 mines from 273 minefields in Northern Sri Lanka.
