Abstract

It is 6:30 am in the small town of Morogoro, Tanzania. Saibaba (meaning ``spiritual master''), one of 82 mine detection trainees, has just finished his breakfast when he and his fellow soldiers are loaded onto a truck and driven to the nearby ``landmine detection training field'' at SOKINE University of Agriculture. When he arrives, Saibaba is outfitted with a harness and clipped onto a series of ropes, which will guide him through his individual training plot. On a good day, he will cover around 200 square meters, and he will be rewarded for every mine he discovers.
