Even in the face of a global pandemic and devastating flooding, PeaceTrees’ EOD teams have remained highly effective at removing unexploded ordnance. Currently, PeaceTrees has 122 deminers working in the field everyday to ensure communities can live in a space free of dangerous ordnance. At the end of 2020, our teams were able to clear a total of 3.3 MILLION square meters!
We are also excited to announce the groundbreaking of Ooc Kindergarten! This is PeaceTrees’ 19th kindergarten and our second school in Quang Binh Province. The 29 school-age children in Ooc Village will now have access to early childhood education. We hope to welcome them in the upcoming school year! Because of your support, PeaceTrees will expand our kindergarten projects and many other critical programs.
As PeaceTrees Vietnam enters our 26th year, we hope that you renew your commitment so that this important work can continue. . Together –with your support – we can help break the cycle of poverty and provide immediate assistance to communities living in danger because of the legacy of war.
