The 650 men, women and children of Kalombo village are just barely getting back to normalcy, since 2003 when the last armed attack occurred.

Around 23.000 out of Roskildes maximum of 105.000 guests are volunteering as security, chefs, parking guards, sanitation workers and last but not least; refund collectors. While the volunteer refund collectors of DanChurchAid are an equal part of this essential festival element, the work they do and the information they share will travel far beyond the borders of Denmark – and Europe.

These companies run the risk of supporting illegal export and unfair mining practices, which often involve severe human rights abuses. A report by DanWatch, May 30 2008.

Detailed impact surveys of mine-affected areas are also being carried out, assessing the threats posed and their social and economic repercussions.

But during the five year long war it was turned in to a military camp. Though the war is over, the mines remain, preventing the villagers from returning.
