Walking barefoot in mines field Sampov Loun, Battambang province.
By Molyka Bin
Battambang_ People may find it crazy to walk barefoot in mines area that’s full of mud, but to me it’s quite fun and adventurous or even the most remember able place for the rest of my life. That happened during my internship at Equity Weekly and while I was doing a report about youth in mines areas. I was very excited to be there as the only girl in the TV crew and as a TV reporter. Peaceful as it look today, there are still mines exist in some part of Battambang area, where the economic and lifestyle is growing. Sampov Loun is the name of one district that does remain mines underneath the ground near villagers’ house and their rice field. Along the road to mines field, I was caught attention by nice view of mountains and rice field that’s as beautiful as a huge golf coast. Reaching Sampov Loun, I had spent a lot of energy, since the road condition there is terribly bumpy and muddy; anyway I was giving a sense of an adventurous. It’s seem like I was on a mining mission. There in the mines field, a group of man working hard under the hot sunlight with their hand holding demining equipments. That group of man is from Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC). To some people they will be call as blue workers, but to me they’re called Heroes, since there job is dangerous and for the purpose of saving others people life.
