On display at the three-day event in Berlin, Germany, were 30 colour photos depicting the clearing of landmines and infrastructure construction in the province to relieve the aftermath of the war in Vietnam.

The SODI-funded projects were carried out in Con Trung hamlet, Phuong Coi village in Cam Lo district and Tan Dinh village in Trieu Phong district.

Since 1998, SODI staff members have worked with local Vietnamese to deactivate almost 70,000 landmines on 960 ha of affected land in the province. In addition, SODI has run training courses on the dangers of landmines for thousands of villagers and helped revitalise communal living conditions through the construction of 200 new homes and improve traffic, electricity and water supply systems.

The German organisation has poured 6.52 million Euros into projects in Vietnam over the past decade.
