Lecture #2

On Tuesday the 18th September, we had a lecture from the The Childrens Chernobyl Charity. I was not present for this lecture but I have been told about the lecture. The two speakers told the year how the Dublin Rose, from the Rose Of Tralee competition went to belarus to volounteer. She worked with children who had been affected by the breakdown of the nuclear reactor. The speakers also told the year about the accident in Chernobyl and how it affexcted so many peoples lives. The incident is still causing problems because the birth defects caused by the incident are being passed on through the generations. The air is still not clear in the area. The charity has opened an orphanage to house children who have been affected by the breakdown. The standard of life in the orphanage is low and the charity are trying to raise funds to improve the lives of these children. The charity is clearly doing good work and are this lecture showed this.
