Chernobyl
The Chernobyl disaster on 26 April 1986 has left an indelible stain on Belarus. Huge swathes of land were contaminated and it’s impossible to count the number of victims who have suffered physically or psychologically as a result.
There are many charities across Europe involved in bring aid to Belarus. They also take children from the contaminated areas in the south of the country on holidays abroad that can add years to their life expectancy.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be detailing the work of some of these charities and updating this page with ways that you can assist too.
If you have any ideas or have any information to publicise here then please get in contact.
