Clearing mines is tough; clearing flooded minefields...impossible

In June, a breach in the #NovaKakhovka dam flooded minefields in #Ukraine, increasing the risk for local families. Whilst we paused our work, our teams taught people how to remain safe.

"Live demining is challenging! But morale gets boosted when you find a real mine in the jungle minefields of #SriLanka."

#Demining takes resilience. Our Field Officer trainees need to learn every aspect of the job but nothing beats the feeling when you find your first #landmine.

[The HALO Trust @TheHALOTrust]

"I used to think I can easily do anything I want on my own. Training helped me realise to achieve great things, I need to cooperate with my team."

Demining = ultimate #teamwork These Field Officer trainees will spend 4 mths learning from our highly experienced Sri Lankan staff.

No two days working as a Field Officer are ever the same. Life is rarely dull, but working for HALO can be tough. If you want to make a difference to people's lives, this could be the job for you.

We have been working hard in El Salvador on a mangrove project – clearing mud and other material to improve water access to chinampas (narrow floating fields). Work continues to ensure local people can earn a livelihood from the land and water.
