Belarus

Dear Colleague,

 

I hope the events you organised around 26th April went off well. By working together we certainly raised awareness of the twentieth anniversary and of the fact that people in Belarus, Ukraine and parts of Russia still suffer the consequences and will continue to do so for many, many years. 

 

I am writing to let you know that the Belarusian Children’s Folk Dance Group Ternichka is touring the country from 16th to 25th June. Please check the web page http://www.rememberchernobyl.org/ternichka.htm to see if they are performing near you. If they are please publicise the event to your members and in your local community. A flyer is attached. 

 

Feedback on Remember Chernobyl from charities attending recent conferences was positive and everyone agreed that:

• it was good that our charities are working together
• the website should be kept up to date
• the Working Party should meet every 3 months and try to organise an event such as a conference annually 

It was also suggested that the website could have a section for charities to offer and ask for goods and services. What do you think about this?

 

We would like to keep the Events section up to date and will replace details after an event has happened with a report on how it went. Please send us a brief report of your event and how much it raised for the Children's Hospice.

 

The Working Party meets again in June and we'd welcome your comments on the above ideas and your suggestions by 15th June.  

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best wishes,

 

Claire Chettoe

on behalf of the Working Party
