Hi all, it's been a very unexpected year for so many reasons. Please read below our 2020 newsletter. Despite all the obstacles, we had a very busy and productive year. Thank you all for your continued support, without you this work would not be possible.

Happy New Year!

Hi there folks, apologies for the lack of posting online. Rest assured the work is still ongoing in the background both in Ireland and Belarus.

Thanks to your support, Burren Chernobyl Project and our office in Minsk, Dobra Tut have been helping several orphanages, adult asylums and Social Services Centres across Belarus.

Below is a little update on some of the equipment we have been sourcing.

​Great news, truck 114 has landed in Minsk. This shipment was organised to support our most vulnerable friends in Belarus in their battle against Covid 19.

​Our Tamara was very busy in Minsk today, organising the distribution of aid to the several institutions in need.

We've had a busy few days here in Ennistymon organising an emergency consignment of PPE and other medical, sanitation and hygiene supplies for Belarus.

It was a big undertaking especially with the restrictions in place.

Today marks 34 years since an invisible enemy spread across the world.

Belarus bore the brunt of the pain then, and now faces another battle, one we are all familiar with but it is especially cruel to our most vulnerable friends.

​The heartbreaking news continues to flood in.

​We have three more adult asylums with residents testing positive for COVID 19, they are in desperate need of support.

​Despite best efforts our worst fears have become a reality.

​Multiple cases of Covid 19 have been confirmed in two of the institutions we support with immunocompromised children, elderly adults and many staff members battling this horrid virus.

Just a quick note to say thank you to you all for your phenomenal response to our call for help this morning.

We have all been watching what's happening in Ireland and across the world unfold each day. The dynamics are constantly changing and we are facing unprecedented times.

This unfortunately is also true for Belarus. As the situation gets more serious, so too does the need for strict and rapid measures to keep everyone safe.
Many of the people we work with are the most vulnerable in society and therefore need extra protection and help.
