18 September Lecture - Chernobyl Volenteers

This is Siobhean nic Eochaidh, in 2011 she represented Dublin in the Rose of Tralee competiton. She told us of a trip she and a group of friends made to Belarus, where the chernobyl disaster took place. They visited an orphanige where severly disabled children where abondoned by thir pearents. She told us of the horrors these poor children face when the turn 18 and move to a mental asilum were they spend the rest of their lives.

This was another very moving and engaging lecture, we were all left felling sorry for these poor childern who were not getting the care they needed.
