Ian Bullpitt, Programme Manager, UN Mine Programme

7 December 1997
When we sent out a message asking people in the field to participate, the reply we got from Ian Bullpitt, the Programme Manager of the UN Mine Programme for Aghanistan, was unequivocal: “Regarding taking questions, this is no problem whatsoever - I would be only to glad to assist.” Ian will be this project’s main contact in Afghanistan. He has been there for five years taking on technical and managerial jobs. Ian is 36 years old (born on 16 January 1961) and is originally from Australia. He has travelled widely through Afghanistan though the Mine Programme’s current base is in Islamabad, Pakistan. He will answer questions himself and also pass them on to Sohrab, Nafisa [read their letters here] and others as appropriate. Ian forwarded the pictures and letters of Sohrab and Nafisa as well as those of the mine awareness classes.
