Hey all --- I am a guest speaker tonight at a fundrasing gala dinner in Toronto for Mines Action Canada. I'll be speaking about my experience as a participant in MAC's internship program, working in Uganda with landmine survivors. Thought I would give this a plug here! Tickets available at the door.

Mines Action Canada's GTA Gala is a formal event open to all in the Greater Toronto area. The night’s festivities will feature a special keynote address by Ms Song Kosal, the Youth Ambassador of the Nobel Prize-winning International Campaign to Ban Landmines who is also a landmine survivor from Cambodia. In the early days of the movement to ban landmines, Song Kosal became the first face of children affected by landmines when she was just 12 years old. Since that time, she has tirelessly travelled the world meeting with heads of states and other key decision makers to ensure that the humanitarian reasons for banning these weapons is never forgotten and the voice of survivors is heard.

The night will be filled with diverse entertainment, a Fair Trade Silent Auction and guest speakers including Mines Action Canada’s Executive Director Paul Hannon and the Coordinator of the global movement to stop explosive investments, Roos Boer.
