(Monday 25 February 2002 Cambodia)
British charity MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is about to launch a week-long, live reporting link, to show how people living in Cambodia's most heavily mined province - Pursat - are working to rebuild their shattered lives and livelihoods.
Starting on Monday 25th February, MAG's award winning photographer Sean Sutton will send photographs and stories directly from the field to the organisation's website.
Sutton; "I will be reporting on the work of MAG's highly trained Mine Action Teams. Multi-skilled, these teams of locally recruited, women and men deminers, will be working to deal with the deadly legacy of conflict - namely; landmines, unexploded bombs and booby-traps - enabling people to live their lives safely and without fear. Telling it as it is will be a real challenge - so long onto MAG's website and see for yourself how MAG is making a difference, how MAG saves life and limb".
