Last September our volunteer, Simon, travelled to Belarus for the first time to work on our project site at Kosava Adult Institute. This January he has just launched a new campaign on indiegogo.com “Mentally Ill in Belarus” to help raise funds for our main project in Belarus.

Just 1 week before he was due to depart for Belarus, we got word that our van driver would be without a van. Although a very kind loan of a van was made to us, it has unfortunately broken down. With our September trip to Kosava Adult Institute just days away we are seeking anyone who could lend us a van between 26th/27th August and 16th September to help bring materials and help us complete our project in Belarus? If you think you can help please contact Brian at 07562980809 or email [email protected] Please share this post with as many people as possible and help us get our man in a van and to Belarus. Thank you. Our 2013 team for Belarus is almost ready. Forms are being filled and flights are ready to be booked. But there's still time to join us. Are you a Tiler? Plasterer? Joiner? or Labourer? with some free time between 2nd and 16th September? Want to do something worthwhile? Visit: http://weastchernobyl.weebly.com/trades.html to find out more about this extraordinary opportunity and consider becoming a part of our WEast Chernobyl Team 2013! 3 Days to Go! Get your walking shoes ready and join us at the Carol Challenge - 3 County Walk. Starting at Davey's Pub Car Park in Omeath and finishing at the Independence Club, Kilmorey Street Newry. The Carol Challenge spans 6 miles and 3 counties. Come along on the 26th May and join us. Everyone is welcome, whether you're looking for some Sunday exercise or a way to spend time with the family, do something worthwhile and help us raise vital funds for our projects. Hope to see you there! Carol Fitzpatrick was what any organisation would want in a volunteer – enthusiastic, friendly to all and dedicated. A priceless, unforgettable person and an inspiration! She gave so much encouragement to others - ideas and the offer of a cup tea and a chat. She had made so many smile! Carol was such an integral part of WEast Chernobyl and her passing is a great loss to all of us. In honour of her memory we have dedicated our sponsored walk this year to her – ‘the Carol Challenge’ is a three county walk starting in Davey’s Car Park, Omeath and finishing in the Independence Club, Newry. Join us on Sunday 26th May at 11am, contact us today for a sponsorship form or come along on the day with a minimum sponsorship of £10 and take up ‘the Carol Challenge’. Traveling to a new country can be an exciting and daunting experience. To help our volunteers with their trip to Belarus we’ve put together this little information sheet on basic Russian words and phrases. Fact: Russian and Belarusian are the official languages of Belarus, with Russian being the most commonly spoken. Both Russian and Belarusian use the Cyrillic alphabet which has 33 letters. That's 7 more letters than the English alphabet. We've just launch our 2013 list of volunteer opportunities. Could you be our next Active Fundraiser? Dedicated Overseas Volunteer? Or Responsible Public Relations Officer? Find out more by checking out our "Get Involved" pages or contact us at [email protected] |
