They want to get Gary the Honey man from Wesley Hill Market off to Cambodia to help defuse land mines. There are a lot of Vietnam vets working there for nothing to help diffuse a huge problem which will be there for 200 years to come. Kids are still getting their legs blown off and land use is still fairly hopeless even after all this time. There are many places where families and villages cannot sustain a livelihood for themselves because of the landmines that are still sitting there after all these years. They want to help Gary get over there and represent our community. The benefit is also to get the issue publicised. Once Gary is there, the Vietnam Association here in Australia seems to have money to sustain him once he is there but he has to pay his own way. There will be other bands involved and I will keep you posted as that takes shape.
