Ho Chon Nhon School is located along Route 9 which runs through Cam Lo Townlet, where fierce fighting took place during the war. It is no surprise that unexploded cluster bombs, landmines and other ordnance are still scattered on the ground in the area. However, it was a shock when deadly explosives were found at a school that was opened 10 years ago, and where hundreds of primary students have been studying and playing every day since then.
