Stories can move, inspire, and help us look at life in new ways. That's why part of our mission is to spread examples of compassion - from the everyday to the extraordinary - to remind us all of the enduring power and presence of compassion. This week we look at the amazing women in Angola who are clearing their country of landmines.
