Millions of life-threatening Unexploded Cluster Munitions and Other Ordnance (UXO) continue to hold the land of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam hostage. Legacies of War is the only U.S.-based educational and advocacy organization dedicated to increasing awareness about the American Secret War in Laos and U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. They are also actively engaged in securing funding for the safe removal of the remaining UXO. In this episode, Host Jarren Peterson speaks with Danae Hendrickson, Chief of Mission Advancement and Communications, about the Lao-led organization's efforts and successes.
Danae talks about the organization's beginnings, current focus, and future plans. She also shares her personal awakening to the ongoing devastation of her mother’s homeland and commitment to action. When not combing through declassified documents, Danae enjoys cooking, hiking and bird watching with her two-year-old son.
