School is in Session
Posted by: James Hathaway
What has not gotten a lot of coverage, if any, on our site is the CPI-built elementary school which opened for classes in September of 2004.
Serving 383 children ages 6-11 in two separate shifts, the "Peace School" as it was named by provincial authorities (I had unsuccesfully requested to have it named after Spalding Gray), is located less than a quarter mile from our office in Dong Ha Town, Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. Funded by the Freeman Foundation, the school was built on land formerly contaminated with hundreds of unexploded bombs which Clear Path removed (also with Freeman funding) in 2001 and 2002. CPI no longer works to remove ordnance and instead focuses on victim assistance
I got a chance to visit the school (and also disrupt classes) on my last visit...
