The World Outreach Network of  Hamilton Conference began a project to remove some of the world's land mines. Working through The Canadian Association for Mine and Explosive Ordnance Security (CAMEO) they selected the southern-most part of Sudan as their area of concentration. The initial goal of the project is to raise $120,000 to initiate the demining work in Southern Sudan, which was then extended to December 31, 2001. They were able to raise $140,000 to start this project (click here for Hamilton Conference donor information).

CAMEO Sudan Project information

The main goals of this project were: 

- Training southern Sudanese villagers:

• How to live in a mined environment
• How to evacuate and treat casualties so they can arrive alive at larger medical facilities
• How to recognize and safely dispose of land mines and unexploded bombs

- Create and sustain a mine awareness and victim assistance capacity in communities in high mine hazard areas.

- To clear mines and unexploded ordnance from these communities and neighboring farm land.
