Heidi Kuhn, a former CNN reporter and producer, will share her extraordinary journey as a peace activist and how she created
Roots of Peace, a nonprofit organization that removes landmines and replaces them with vineyards and orchards.
Roots of Peace has removed more than 100,000 land mines and unexploded ordinances in Afghanistan, Israel, the West Bank, Croatia, and elsewhere, and it has helped more than a million farmers and their families. Kuhn, who has received numerous humanitarian awards and praise from Queen Noor of Jordan, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Jane Goodall, among others, will discuss her new book,
Breaking Ground: From Landmines to Grapevines: One Woman's Vision to Heal the World.
