The Friends of the Children of
Chernobyl
We offer
summer holidays for children from Belarus and Irish families act as
hosts on a voluntary basis.
The principle behind these holidays is that even a short time
spent in a healthy environment will help to boost the immune systems
of the children, which in turn will help to keep their bodies free
of the diseases that threaten them. Thirteen children and their
interpreter are visiting the area at present. Two lovely girls, Maryna
& Alena, are staying with two families in Cloonfad. To extend our sincere
welcome to these visitors a function is being held in Keane’s Lounge
on Friday July 12th @ 9pm. Live music, refreshments
served. Admission is
free. Everyone welcome.
Trip
to Galway
Seats are still available for
anyone who wishes to take part in the trip to Galway next week. It is not
confined to the Senior Citizens alone so interested persons need to
hand their names in at the Post Office.
