Laos

Artisans in Laos started transforming bombs into soup spoons at the end of the Vietnam War, like swords to ploughshares. These modern artifacts are not just decorative! Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors, and further de-mining efforts. Purchase of this spoon clears 3 square meters of Laotian landscape. MAG (Mines Advisory Group) safely and expertly is clearing some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating the land in Laos.
