Title: two messages from non-members (Chornobyl and Pedagogy

Dear AAUSers,

I am forwarding two messages from outside the list. One is from the Embassy of Belarus, regarding Chornobyl (minus the html graphics in the original). I do not know anything about the foundation for Chornobyl/Chernobyl that they are endorsing. The second is from a Ukrainian researcher who is looking for information on a conference that must have been mentioned earlier on the list. Please respond to them, not the list or me.

Regards,

Rob DeLossa

The Eurasia Center and its
Friendship Society of Washington D.C.

in cooperation with His Excellency Mikhail Khvostov,

Ambassador of Belarus
and Ms. Kathleen Ryan of the Chernobyl's Children's Project International
invites you and your colleagues to:

Chernobyl 20th Anniversary: Honor the Past, Build the Future
Wednesday, February 22, 2006

5:45 ­ 8:00 p.m.

At The Embassy of  Belarus

 

1619 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20009

 

On Wednesday, February 22, 2006, 5:45 P.M. The Eurasia Center and its Friendship Society invite you to learn about the continued devastating affects caused by the explosion of the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor in 1986. 190 tons of toxic materials were expelled into the atmosphere as the nuclear plant burned for 10 days. This was 100 times more radiation than the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Almost 400,000 citizens were forced to leave their homes with over 2,000 towns and villages bulldozed to the ground. Twenty-two [22] per cent of the Belarus land mass was contaminated with 70 percent of the total fallout deposited there. Radiation spread over large parts of the Ukraine and Russia and into Scandinavia, Poland, Baltic states, Germany, Switzerland, France, and England.

At 5:45 P.M. there will be opportunities for informal One-to-One discussions with His Excellency Mikhail Khvostov, Ambassador of Belarus and Ms. Kathleen Ryan of the Chernobyl's Children's Project International. At 6:15 P.M The Ambassador will speak about the long-term ecological, societal, and political costs of the accident. Mr. Pavel Shidlovsky, Counselor, will review the economic devastation of the disaster, continuing recovery costs, and international Chernobyl cooperation.

Chernobyl Reactor, 1986
The Chernobyl disaster is considered to be the largest technological disaster in the history of mankind. The picture was taken shortly after the accident, before the shroud was built over the blast area.

Integral to this entire effort will be extensive television coverage. The Evening's proceedings and reception will be videotaped for rebroadcast on the INTERNATIONAL INVESTOR. This highly respected business show is seen weekly on 55 American television stations and is broadcast over NTDTV Satellite Network to 132 countries.

The One-on-One session and reception that follows the presentations will feature special foods, beverages, and music of Belarus.

The entire evening will be highlighting the work of CCPI. For 15 years this organization has been on the front lines of providing humanitarian and developmental help to children, families, and communities impacted by the Chernobyl accident. Thirty percent of the evening¹s donations will be directed to the work of the CCPI with the balance for humanitarian projects of The Eurasia Center. Further information about the International Conference on the Occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster will also be presented. The Conference will be held in Minsk and Gomel, Belarus, from April 19 till 21, 2006.

Dear Sirs,

I am writing to you to inquire whether teachers can participate in Workshop on Education Issues which is to take place in March 2006 in Prague.

I teach in the Institute and I am very interested in Educational issues. I am writing a thesis paper on Education. I have several articles on Education devoted to an English pedagogue.

I am a citizen of Ukraine.

I would really appreciate your answer.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely yours,

Svitlana Muravska
