Students, parents and teachers to heal the wounds of Chernobyl

26-01-2011

How do you deal with the consequences of such a disaster as Chernobyl after so many years? In a town in Belarus, some students, teachers and parents have joined efforts and refurbished a school. In other villages, people have equipped their kindergarten, or opened a music school, or restored drinking water wells. This is how a joint EU- UNDP Programme – funded to minimize the consequences of the Chernobyl accident – is bringing local communities and administrations together to heal the suffering and to improve the quality of life.  

 
MINSK - Refurbishing a school; equipping a rehabilitation centre for children with special needs; providing games and physiotherapeutic support to a kindergarten: in a word, healing a suffering territory through community-based small scale projects, mainly addressing children and youth needs. This is the overall aim of a EU-UNDP joint project, launched in August 2010 to the tune of €2.2 million to minimize the consequences of the Chernobyl accident in the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
