Slideshow on Trekking the Canol Heritage Trail in the Northwest Territories.
Thursday, January 25, 2007
(old fire hall in Kensington)
Lori's one-hour presentation and slideshow will showcase the work of Clear Path International (CPI), an organization working with landmine victims in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos. This presentation will explore and detail the involvement of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) helping in the largest and most populous continent on the planet. Asia contains more than 60% of the world's population, and at least 10% of the people in each of its countries live with some kind of disability. These individuals often live in extreme poverty, without access to education, health care services, or gainful employment.
