      🧵Mr Toun is the village chief in Ban Kayou, in the Khammouane Province of #Laos 🇱🇦 Laos is—per capita—the most bombed countries in the world. More than 250 million ‘bombies’ were dropped on Laos during the #VietnamWar—the equivalent of one planeload every 8 minutes for 9 yearspic.twitter.com/pahqflUWTu

      🧵 The unexploded bombs that litter Laos are still claiming lives today, almost half a century after the war ended. The paddy fields of Ban Kayou were seeded with the deadly legacy of the war before MAG arrived in the village.pic.twitter.com/Tx4gIfrTTb

          I am very pleased that the UK supports this work in Laos. It saves lives, reduces injuries, makes schools safe, and allows fields to be farmed again. Well done @MAGsaveslives for your long-standing and excellent work in this beautiful country. 🇬🇧 🇱🇦
