Cambodian land mines subject of presentation at Tolerance Education Center.

Bill and Jill Morse, former Palm Springs residents who now live in Cambodia, will appear at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Tolerance Education Center, 35-147 Landy Lane, to speak about the issues surrounding the 5 million live land mines still present in that country.

The Morses founded the nonprofit Landmine Relief Fund after traveling to Cambodia a few years ago to seek out land mine diffuser Aki Ra. They will present a 15-minute film, talk about the present situation in the country and introduce a Cambodian woman who plans to form an all-woman land mine diffusion team to target low-priority rural areas.
