During the program, more than 1,000 children in areas at high risk of landmines participated in games that combined football with questions related to landmines and explosive materials. This helped them understand the consequences of landmines, their harmful effects, how to handle them, and how to prevent accidents caused by landmines.

Simultaneously, we will learn about and discuss topics related to landmines: causes of landmine accidents; the harmful effects and consequences of landmines; types of landmines; and safe behaviors when encountering landmines...

This is an opportunity for children in Huong Hoa district to understand the dangers, prevention methods, and ways to minimize the risk of accidents caused by landmines and unexploded ordnance left over from the war; at the same time, it aims to ignite a passion for sports and create a healthy and safe playground for children with the motto "Play football - don't play with landmines".
