partnership with the International
Trust Fund for Humanitarian Demining, with funding from the U.S.
Department of State, Slovenian
Ambassador to the United States Samuel
Zbogar,
and former U.S. Ambassador to Slovenia Thomas
Robertson, this program
provided physical and physiological rehabilitation for six young Bosnian
landmine survivors at the world-renowned Slovenian Rehabilitation Institute
in Ljubljana.
The children spent two weeks at the clinic where they received treatment,
fittings for new prosthetics, and other rehabilitative procedures.
Four of the young students were able to visit Washington, D.C. in October
2007 as part of a Mine Action DELegation (MADEL). They spoke with local
schools about landmine contamination in Bosnia and shared some of their
personal stories.
