Algeciras, Colombia. New recruits of the first humanitarian demining organization of Colombia seen through face shields, their main protection gear.More than half a century of civil war in Colombia left a sinister legacy of landmines and other artisanal explosives. Most of those young people are recruited by NGO's to work in the rural area where they were born and raised. If the lack of opportunity in the countryside is driving many to start working in landmine clearance the will to clear the Colombian territory of this threat is also a motivation shared by many of them.
