Caption:		Angola, Africa. Twelve-year-old Pinto da Cruz's right leg was blown off by a land mine one night in October 1996 as he went out into the bush surrounding his home to go to the toilet. Pinto is one of 8,000 children who have been injured by an estimated 10 million mines littering Angola's countryside. World Vision mine awareness teams go into villages to teach people about the dangers of mines and unexploded ordinance so boys and girls like Pinto will not have their lives wrecked by this cruel and often deadly legacy of war. World Vision mines awareness instructor Miguel Firmino talks to two small boys about the dangers of landmines as he holds up one of the mines awareness banners.
