The Images Of Cambodia exhibition at Lithgow Red Cross House focuses on the tragic impact on the Cambodian population of the land mines scattered throughout the countryside in the wake of the conflicts involving the brutal Khmer Rouge and armies of Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam during the period 1978 to 1989.
The exhibition is touring Australia under the auspices of AusAID.
It is intended to create a greater understanding of the legacy of the landmines and the work in Cambodia of the Red Cross to help peasants break free of the circumstances that force them to farm in heavily mined areas.
The free exhibition is open today (Saturday, 27/9/08) and tomorrow (Sunday 28/9/08) from 11 am to 2 pm.
