The Marshall Legacy Institute (MLI) is a nonprofit organization that helps promote hope, growth and stability in war torn countries. MLI is bringing CHAMPS (Children Against Mines Program) to visit students, families, and other caring, global citizens in Greenwich during the week of April 9, 2007.
The program features a Belgian Malinois named Utsi. It demonstrates how people and dogs are working together to make a better and safer world. CHAMPS promotes a spirit of global citizenship, increases awareness of the landmine issue, and provides an opportunity to help others living in landmine threatened communities around the world.
