"I poke my stick in the ground till I find a mine.
Then I dig around it, to make sure that it is not booby-trapped.
Then, I unscrew the detonator.  And the mine is safe."
Sometimes one persons efforts just need to be seen to be believed. Aki Ra, after being enlisted as a child soldier under the Khmer Rouge and being forced to lay hundreds of landmines, has taken it upon himself to clear those same landmines and more, to make the land safe once again.

While there may be plenty of people taking on this noble and dangerous task every day, Aki Ra is the man who does it armed only with a stick, some rudimentary tools, and his bare hands.

He is the currently featured 'Badass of the Week', and an all out legend.
