MiVAC Web Site - Site Overview

Welcome to the MiVAC Trust Web site.

The MiVAC Trust is the initiative of Australian Vietnam Veterans who cleared landmines in Vietnam and have seen first hand the devastation caused by these indiscriminate weapons. Membership of the Trust has broadened to include ex-service personnel from other conflicts, humanitarian aid workers, members of peacekeeping forces and many concerned civilians.

It is the intention of the Trust to establish a Chapter of MiVAC in each State and Territory in Australia.

Col. Sandy MacGregor is MiVAC's National Patron.

Projects

CAMBODIA - so far we have provided materials for a fence to be built around the perimeter of a school, which was bordered by a minefield. This enables the children to play safely without straying into dangerous areas. We have provided tools to a workshop and built a waste disposal storage area at the Sunrise Children's Village. MiVAC members, with the Ranelagh Community Group, raised enough money for 12 wheelchairs to be built by a Cambodian landmine survivor. He then distributed these wheelchairs to other amputees in the Siem Reap Province.

SRI LANKA - A donation from the Royal Commonwealth Society (Tas) has been forwarded with an equal amount from MiVAC to assist with the re-building of a school after a demining project in the area had been completed.
