Freddy Mendoza Cordova, a nineteen-year-old landmine survivor from Peru attended an event in Toronto as part of a speaking tour for Mines Action Canada/ Foreign Affairs Canada in 2001.

Freddy was blinded by a landmine when he was 9.

Freddy used a damaged cassette recorder to take 'voice pictures' the way sighted people might use a camera. The recorder was in poor shape and Freddy would bang the side of it to make it work. Also his white cane was broken and would not fold properly.

CLMF used a donation to buy him a new cassette recorder and replace his white cane. The donor was notified.

Sometimes mine action is quite inexpensive. Here's Freddy with his new recorder and cane.
