resting






	Land Mines are such a huge long term hazard.They sit there, under the surface of the soil, waiting to be disturbed.
	Until they are removed, they remain a deadly menace. Children are particularly vulnerable to landmines in a number
highlight	of ways. If they are too young to read or are illiterate, signs posted to warn them are useless. Also, children are far
children at war	more likely to die from their mine injuries than are adults.Of those maimed children who survive, few will receive
stages	prostheses that keep up with the continued growth of their stunted limbs.
	This boy has lost a leg through treading on a land mine. He looks so weary, resting, with his stump out of the artificial
eastbourne	limb.I want to capture his weariness.
