The fundraiser, which will sell Bosnian food, goods, and have traditional dances/music performed, will serve to assist the Mine Action Development Funding in Bosna to remove mines.
"Mine action seeks to eliminate the lingering effects of contamination from landmines and explosive remnants of war, but the need for development in these communities often trumps clearance and mine-risk education activities. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, where clearance activities are expected to continue until 2019, the Swiss Development Cooperation and Handicap International are exploring new ways for mine action to integrate development efforts into more traditional mine-action efforts."
