It’s a beautiful country, and deserves better.

And the COPE centre – is painful, and humbling, and so important. Images from the film I saw come back to trouble me still

I remember reading about the horrific effects of cluster bombs used by the Americans in Iraq (even though their use is against Geneva conventions) – such hideous inventions. I didn’t know that Laos was the most bombed country per capita though – that is really shocking. We’ll be sure to visit COPE when we get to Laos in a few months.

Thanks so much for sharing. That picture of the cluster bombs hanging is scary! I didn’t know what one was either.
