Joining us on this week’s episode of Coffee with Closers is Chris Whatley, Executive Director of The HALO Trust USA and Valeriia Shumska, Field Officer with The HALO Trust, the largest landmine clearance organization in the world.
We discuss the organization’s most urgent priority, clearing contaminated land of landmines and other explosives in war-torn Ukraine.
Not only are these devices injuring and killing innocent civilians, but also making it harder for Ukrainian farmers to grow crops, which is threatening the global food supply.
