So these are the NPA technical assistants (TAs) and me. The USG funds UXO Lao through NPA in three provinces. What this means is that we run UXO Lao provincial salaries through NPA, and we pay for the field TAs as well. On the right is Robby, a Belgian, who works in Champassak. On my left is Ski, a Kiwi who works in Sekong and Attepeu. And on the far left is Olivier, a finance TA who works in the UXO Lao head office in Vientiane, but traveled down with us. Ski and Robby are both ex-military with many years of UXO and demining experience all over the world, so it was interesting to spend time with them. Just so you know, the USG also funds UXO Lao in 3 other provinces as well, just through a different organization, London-based Mine Action Group (MAG). The USG is the largest donor to the Lao UXO sector. Estimates range from 60-80% of all UXO found in Laos is US-made, with the rest Chinese, Vietnamese and Russian (Soviet).
