Night of a Thousand Dinners 2008Support Projects Worldwide Where Greatest Need Exists |

Night of A Thousand Dinners® (N1KD) is a global event that takes place between March 1 and April 30 to raise awareness of the global landmine crisis and to raise funds for mine action. All of the proceeds from this event will be used to fund Adopt-A-Minefield’s mine action programs.
Throughout this time, tens of thousands of individuals around the world will join their friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues in their homes, restaurants, community centers, and other venues to have dinner and raise funds for mine clearance and survivor assistance.
This year I am hosting a dinner to clean up landmines and cluster bombs and help communities affected by these deadly weapons reclaim their land and their livelihoods. Proceeds from my dinner will help Adopt-A-Minefield tackle the global landmine crisis where it is needed most.
Landmines not only threaten the lives of individuals but also severely impede economic development by restricting access to arable land, water, education and health services.
The threat of potentially contaminated land spreads fear in communities, limits movement and further represses the poorest communities and individuals.
Clearance and survivor assistance programs supported by my dinner, and the dinners of other caring individuals around the world, can make a tangible difference. Join me in helping clear a path to a safer world!
