Please join us on October 4th as we hold our 2011 Clearing the Path Gala at The Fairmont Hotel in Washington, D.C.

 It will be a night for food and dog lovers to unite as we enjoy scrumptious food and entertainment from around the world and celebrate the extraordinary efforts of those working to rid the world of the scourge of landmines.  

The Gala will also feature a hero dog team that will demonstrate how man’s best friend “sniffs out” landmines to make the world a safer and better place for all people and animals.  

The evening will also highlight MLI’s life-saving programs, including successes in the Mine Detection Dog Partnership Program, the Children Against Mines Program (CHAMPS), and the Survivors’ Assistance program, which operate in some of the world’s most mine affected countries.
