Adopt-A-MinefieldTM
The Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign encourages individuals, community groups and businesses (in the United Nation's) to remove landmines around the world. The Campaign helps to save lives by raising funds to clear minefields, and by raising awareness about the global landmine crisis. Moving beyond the political and policy debates typically associated with banning the use of landmines, the Campaign provides a practical solution to ridding the world of the tens of millions of mines that contaminate it.

The Center for Creative Education helps township women discover who they are, and shows them how to access their own creativity. The Center also trains them to educate children creatively and holistically, and how to develop a beautiful, enriched, and healing environment. This helps children overcome the poverty conditioning they inherit, and urges the children and their teachers to engage constructively and creatively with life.
