Iraq eldersA taxi driver told CPTers that his day job is working for the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) clearing minefields.  MAG is a not-for-profit organization clearing landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and other remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide (www.maginternational.org).

Most mines in this area are left from the Iran/Iraq war, although some are more recent.  He also clears bomblets – unexploded remains from U.S. cluster bombs.  He only has a handful of fellow de-miners and gets paid only $500 a month.

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
