In June Br. Liam will embark on his first Camino de Santiago beginning in St. Jean Pied de Port in France to raise funds for our ongoing projects.

We'd love if you could show your support to Liam by donating to his fundraiser through the secure iDonate link below. Please also feel free to share with your friends and family.

Happy New Year everyone!
Here is our 2024 Newsletter. Despite continuous hurdles we still managed to carry out several projects throughout the year. None of these projects would have been possible without all your support and the hard work of our small but mighty team on the ground in Belarus.
We are grateful to be able to continue supporting so many in care and also many families in the community.
Your kindness and generousity makes this possible. Thank you all, go raibh míle maith agaibh, Спасибо🌻​

Back in November Daragh Leamy from Scariff Bay Community Radio came to our event in the Falls Hotel to join us for our celebration of 30 years. 

Daragh interviewed some volunteers from over the years and put them together in this lovely piece. 

Grab yourself a cuppa and settle in to listen back on a lovely night and the impact Burren Chernobyl Project has had on so many over the past 30 years.

As many of you know, 2023 marked 30 years of Burren Chernobyl Project. To mark this milestone we took on the challenge of completing 30 projects during the year. 
We've updated you on some but are delighted to announce that with your support we achieved our goal, surpassed it in fact with many other requests popping up throughout the year that we managed to accommodate. 

In the past two months we have had two groups of young people from Gorodishche come to Minsk for a holiday. 
The two groups got the opportunity to enjoy some respite in the comfort of Dom Zara our Minsk HQ. 
They explored the city, soaking up the festive atmosphere and decorations and ate like kings and queens for the week!

Happy New Year everyone!
Please have a read of our 2023 newsletter, some photos from projects in 2023 and a lookback at many projects from over the last thirty years.
We say goodbye to 2023, a busy year of many projects. It was also a very sad year as we said goodbye to some dear friends. We remember them fondly and bring their strength and generosity with us into the new year.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2024. Thank you all for being a part of our 2023.

On Saturday last 25th of November, we gathered together for an evening of sharing, remembering and connecting. 

​

Next up in our 30 by 30 project are two projects we completed in Yazovki adult asylum.  ​

​All of us at Burren Chernobyl Project are shocked and heartbroken at the sudden passing of our dear friend Pat O'Doherty. 

We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Neilus, Triona, Noreen, Sinead, Colm, Fiachra and all Pat’s family and friends.

Pat was a member of our committee and long term volunteer with Burren Chernobyl Project and many other organisations. She was one of the first volunteers in both Cherven and Gorodishche, brought children to Ireland and also had her own family visit Belarus. 

Our goal for 2023 is to complete 30 projects over the year to mark 30 years of Burren Chernobyl Project. We’re sharing that journey here with you all as none of it would have been possible without you. Following on from last weeks post about the Frunzenskaya flats (read here if you missed it), this week we wanted to share a happy news story from our friends in Cherven.
