The director of Chernobyl Children's Project, Ms Adi Roche, has signed an agreement with the Belarussian ministry of education which provides for more humanitarian aid for the child victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
After the signing of the protocol last week, Belarussian officials paid tribute to the assistance given by Ms Roche and the project to their country. Ms Roche said the protocol was "both aspirational and inspirational. As we move towards the new millennium this protocol provides a framework for continuing our work towards a nuclear-free world".
