This weekend the world commemorates 23rd anniversary of the Chernobyl accident. The life in the areas affected by the nuclear disaster is getting back to normal. The regions in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine that were most affected by the nuclear fallout on 26 April 1986 are now in need of jobs, education and social services that will enable a full return to a normalcy. UNDP is coordinating the international development work which spans from environmental projects to improving education to promotion of healthy life style. UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Maria Sharapova is helping to convey the message of healthy life style and hope to the young generation in the region.

WOW! how nice if im not mistaken i heard Maria Sharapova. Its really warming to hear a BIG name doing BIG help. Im from Belarus and hear about this accident all the time. Its sad and at same time i feel we alll have to worry and cant forget! Im hoping to take my trip there this yr and see my family in Brest and all over Belarus:)
I was a grammar school student in Prague at the time of the accident.. about 20 of us, on a volunteer basis, were booked for travel to Moscow by train via Ukraine/ Kiev for 10 days.. teenagers who wanted to form our own independent view what Russia was really about.. then it was end April, we had annual days off.. me and my parents staying in our cottage in the mountains.. we went cross country skiing, some 2-3 days after Chernobyl.. baking in the sun at 1300+ metre ASL ;)
the Soviets did NOT tell the world what happened.. I guess I had my dose of radioactivity.. the first alarm arrived a few days later from Scandinavia.. they measured high radioactivity.. the whole north-western/ central/ eastern Europe got exposed to it, while the Soviet officials decided they would NOT warn the international community..
to be continued... it does not fit all in one hit ;)
early June our school trip to Moscow followed. luckily last-minute they could change our train routing via Belarus/ Minsk ;) I wonder how my thyroid will be doing one day; thank you Soviet communists.. also thanks for taking great (NOT!!) care of your own citizens when/ after this happened.. never ever lets hope.. lesson learned??
