Heather Mills : communiqué de presse

Nous vous livrons ci-dessous le communiqué de presse relatif à la conférence que la belle Heather Mills-Mccartney a donné hier à l’université de Californie à Irvine.

Dear Friends,

On Wednesday, 28th April 2004, I will be giving a speech at the Human Security Summit at the University of California, Irvine.

My speech will launch the ‘Heather Mills McCartney Fellowship in Human Security’! I’m really excited about this new fellowship – it aims to support UCI graduate students conduct research into human security issues such as the rehabilitation of landmine survivors, restoring mined land and ultimately banning landmines.

Through Adopt-A-Minefield we have cleared 16.8 million square metres of land of landmines and other explosive remnants of war. It is estimated that there are still some 70 million landmines worldwide waiting to be cleared ­ it remains our goal to rid the world of these mines. It is my hope that through this fellowship and through education we will be several steps closer to realising our goal.

I’ve spent a lot of time counselling individuals, meeting with world leaders and raising awareness of landmine prevention ­ to me this feels like a natural extension of my wish that ‘in turn for receiving help you in turn should go on to help someone else’.

Thanks for your continuing support!

Love,

Heather
