Maltas to explore the work of unexploded munitions neutralizers at the centre of children and young people

“We are working and often forgetting that our efforts and skills are going to be our joy” – reminds the writer Paula Koeley, and this time this idea is perfect in the narrative of a piece of work that the breweries are delighted with each of their skilled effort and every return home, these are people who don't tend to do a banal saying that “mistakes are human”.
Patriotic Week - From Lāčplēsis Day to 18. November 10, with the experience and day-to-day familiarisation of participants in international peacekeeping missions, was launched at Maltas in the centre of children and young people, namely the meeting of the Latvian National Guard 2 nd Brigade 54. Civil engineering battalion unexploded munitions neutralisation rounds 3 rd Guard representatives: commander, retired supersleeper Ilmārs Apains, Headquarters Sergeant Uldis Adijans and sergeant Andrejs Ulass.
First OF ALL, Maltas BJC methodical children, young people and their parents were informed that BJC is hosting our national guardsmen whose daily life is linked to one of the most dangerous works – mine clearance, the neutralisation of unexploded ammunition. She also mentioned the fact that, on 23 August that year, the National Guard of the Republic of Latvia was 25 years of age and that in connection with this anniversary there is a book about Latgale national guardsmen, in which the co-author and editor are Maltas BJC journalist group teacher. It should be noted that Maltas AT the BJC National Festival Theme had the opportunity to look at around 20 different coloured photographs from the day-to-day events of these national guardsmen.
After that, Mr Apein informed MR Apein about the specificities and tasks of the unexploded munitions neutralizer, while the supersergeant AND the Adijani commented on the presentation and told him of the participation in the peacekeeping missions, provided information and statistical material on the calls, reminded him of what to do if a charge was found. But in particular, the persuasive and musical reflections of two over ten minutes of video films in which the former managed to see and hear the process of preparation and development of big explosions.
It is delighted that the boys, even though they did not ask a lot of questions, followed the narrative and the photomaterial nuances, and their true interest was also confirmed by the absence of the presentation immediately after the presentation, but by the active involvement of the special garments in which the boys (and not only!) were assisted by sergeant A. Ulass. It must be said that the very heavy outfit was also perfect for the former mothers who admitted that it was heavy not on the joke, but when they stood there for a moment, it became bearable, like everything in that life.
The time to show the boys, but there is no doubt that the information they have gained was new and educational. This was evidenced by the attention of both the eighth-year-old Arthur Colosov and the interest in asking about how many grenades had been found this year, and the opportunity for the first time to keep a real firearm and pride that he managed to hold 12 kilograms of heavy armour in his shoulders. I would only want this and other boys in the future with the word “soldier” not to take weapons in the hands, but only the mine of their own and foreign lands...
