Land Mines that were planted more than 30 years ago in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa are being removed by the international organization HUMAID. These mines hindered farm land from being cultivated in a predominately agriculture based community. While the clearing of land and safety of the population is important, I think the mental freedom of not living around land mines is so amazing. The liberation of not being surrounded by fear is priceless.

The organization hopes to be finished clearing away the existing lannd mines by 2011. So far they have removed 21 mines.
