    HALO Trust to brief Armenian community in San Francisco

    Kurt Chesko, Program Officer for the HALO Trust, will speak about his
    recent visit to Nagorno Karabakh and discuss the impact that landmines
    and unexploded ordnance (UXO) have on the population there. He will
    share photographs and give a mine clearance demonstration. This event
    is hosted by the Armenian National Committee of San Francisco and is
    open to the public and all are welcome to attend.

    The HALO Trust is the world's largest humanitarian landmine clearance
    organization and operates a 200-person program in Karabakh, one of the
    most mine-affectied regions in the world. HALO's dedicated Karabakhi
    staff have destroyed 2,300 antipersonnel landmines, 1,000 antitank
    mine and over 26,000 items of UXO since 2000. HALO also provides mine
    risk education to the goverment authorities and residents of Karabakh.

    This briefing will be held on Wednesday, September 8th at 8:00PM. The
    venue is Vaspourgan Hall at 51 Commonwealth Avenue in San Francisco.
