Is anyone in the Landmine Working Group aware of any risk education efforts that have been undertaken in Dak Nong Province -- by NGOs, or Vietnamese military, or other Vietnamese agencies?  


It seems clear from these news items that the children in this tragic accident had no idea of the danger posed by these weapons.
