As Scotland's largest charity we are proud to have Scottish men and women working on our programmes around the world. To mark St. Andrew's Day we want to introduce you to some of our Scottish team.
Meet Mairi Cunningham, Operations Manager, HALO Abkhazia
"The best part of my job is seeing the tangible outcome of my day-to-day work and working alongside, and learning from, my national staff colleagues."
Meet Frank Philip, Programme Manager, HALO Iraq
"Working for HALO offered the challenge of a start-up programme in a country I was already familiar with. I hoped my experience from working in conflict and post-conflict zones would be transferrable to the work HALO does."
Meet Calum Gibbs, Operations Officer, HALO Laos
"There are so many aspects of this job that I love. The people, the places, the hands-on nature of what I do, it all combines to mean that when I wake up in the morning, I can’t wait to get to work. "
Meet Victoria Telford, Programme Officer, HALO Cambodia
"I am fortunate enough to work measuring the impact of mine clearance on people’s lives, so I get to meet and interview a lot of people who have been, or still are, living with the threat of mines and ERW. Their resilience and positivity, despite living with the legacy of conflict, is powerful."
Meet John Montgomery, Global Chief Technical Adviser, Explosive Ordnance Disposal
"HALO is one of the world leaders in ridding the contamination of explosive remnants of war. Having the opportunity to contribute to this and help make the world a safer place made HALO a natural choice for me."
Meet Lawrie Clapton, Operations Management Trainee
"I joined The HALO Trust to do valuable and interesting work, in challenging environments. I’ve not been disappointed."
