Cherynoble Lecture

This weeks lecture was given to us by a ropse of tralee and her escort named siobhan and daragh respectively. They spoke to us about their recent trip to an area affected by the disaster which took place in 1986. They visited a suburb in belarus which houses many orphans who hacve been effected directly or inderectly effected by the disaster. The Belarussian governement ignore these children who have been so badly effected and as a result they are shunned from society. They spoke of how the orphanage was split up into units with each unit being home to different severity of the illnesses the children posses. It really opened our eyes to how seriously peoples lives have been effected.
