CHAMPS is a two week educational and outreach program designed to engage students in the global effort to remove landmines and teach them how to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the lives of others.
The program promotes awareness of this huge problem and educates students about the effects of landmines on other children in countries around the world.
CHAMPS encourages kids to TAKE ACTION and raise money to sponsor their own mine sniffing dogs.
CHAMPS and the Marshall Legacy Institute raise private funding and the US Department of State provides matching funds (approximately 3 to 1).
