From The Heart Of A Mother: The Movement To Replace Landmines With Roots Of Peace with Heidi Kuhn

MP3 Download For many years, Kuhn has dedicated herself to removing land mines from the 70 countries around the world that are still plagued with these small but powerful weapons. She educates us on the severity and pervasiveness of the issue and explains how with love, patience and persistence, she has built momentum for the cause to bring life back to once-deadly ground. With a simple gesture, a toast to peace, Heidi Kuhn was catapulted into a position to lead the charge to rid the planet of landmines. Her toast, “May the world go from mines to vines,” has become a movement to bring life and growth to places that have been paralyzed by the remnants of war. With the help of vintners and generous donors, she has built momentum for the cause to bring “Roots of Peace” to active minefields. She shares stories of people who are being deprived of the ability to enjoy and make use of their land for the fear of a small misstep. Getting rid of the mines is only half of the equation, she says.
