"Every 22 minutes someone in the world is injured by mines. There are more |
| 5 |
|
|
than 100 million mines lying in fields and roads in 87 countries, which is |
| 6 |
|
|
almost one third of the World," wrote Mr. Damir Gorseta, Head of the Croatian |
| 7 |
|
|
Mine Action Centre in his introduction to the book "Pricom protiv mina" ("Stories |
| 8 |
|
|
against mines").<br> |

Unfortunately, these figures are part of Croatia's reality. In Croatia, people |
| 10 |
|
|
continue to be killed by mines, and over 100 children have already been victims.<br> |
| 11 |
|
|
Prompted by these terrifying facts, authors of children's books, scientists |
| 12 |
|
|
and mine experts, artists, organisers and sponsors of the project, among |
| 13 |
|
|
them PLIVA, all joined together in an effort to teach children about the |
| 14 |
|
|
dangers of mines, and published a beautiful book of stories written by famous |
| 15 |
|
|
Croatian children writers.<br> |

The publication of the book has two purposes: the first one is prevention, |
| 22 |
|
|
i.e., warning children about the danger of mines, and the second purpose |
| 23 |
|
|
is to use the proceeds to help those children whose one or both parents were |
| 24 |
|
|
killed by mines. <br> |

At a ceremony held at the Europe House in Zagreb, PLIVA received a certificate |
| 26 |
|
|
in acknowledgement of its contribution to this charitable action from Soroptimist |
| 27 |
|
|
International, the worldwide organisation for women in management and professions.<br> |
