A global issue, tackled by 5th graders

From my brother-in-law:
I am principal of an international school. Our fifth grade students do an end of the year final project called the Exhibition. Groups of 3 or 4 students are mentored by staff member as they research a global issue and take some form of action. The group I mentor has selected landmines as their global issue. The action they are taking is to use Facebook's social media power to encourage the United States to sign the Ottawa Treaty. The United States already uses an internal ban on landmines, but by joining the other 159 counties that signed the treaty we can set an example for the rest of the world. Please take a moment to review their page. Like and share the page if you are supportive of eradicating the use of landmines. Much thanks in advance for your help with their project!
 The kids' Facebook page to like, share, etc., as you see fit.
