Project Renew: Restoring the Environment and Neutralizing the Effects of the War
Vietnam Vet Chuck Searcy Works To Clean Up U.S. Bomb Legacy In Vietnam
More than three decades after the war ended, cluster munitions, landmines and other explosive remnants of war remain a serious threat to many communities throughout Vietnam.
As he nears 70, Chuck Searcy continues his work with Project Renew: Restoring the Environment and Neutralizing the Effects of the War, an organisation which he helped to set up in 2001. Project Renew works to reduce the toll of the unexploded bombs still killing and maiming children and farmers.
The core team is made up of young, educated, and highly committed Vietnamese staff who live in Quang Tri Province, whose families have experienced the suffering of war, and who live with the threat of these Explosive Remnants of War every day.
