| Sumario: | In August 2015, the authors spent a month volunteering in Belarus with Chernobyl Children's Trust (CCT), a charity set up by Irish volunteers. CCT focuses on supporting children living in contaminated and disadvantaged areas in Belarus, as well as on advocacy and support for children with disabilities. This article describes the authors' experiences of engaging with the charity's programmes, exploring the issues around disability and working in an orphanage for children and young adults with disabilities. It also outlines how the skill set of the registered nurse in intellectual disability is transferable to this type of environment worldwide. |
