Exhibition:

Chernobyl by children's eyes

It is difficult to forget the tragical days of Chernobyl tragedy, in spite of the fact that has passed twenty years after frightfull (terrible) events. Being the nation which is extremely strong by the spirit, the Ukrainian people has managed to overcome difficulties of April, 1986 and to today estimates the Chernobyl tragedy as a severe lesson of life. Recent events in Ukraine have brought to our country a world recognition, and we want that in the world we were known as a country of successes, but no tragedies. At the same time any events are an integral (inalienable) part of our history, and we should not forget them.

With extraordinary attention and interest members and workers of our union had an opportunity to enjoy an exhibition of pictures "Chernobyl by children's eyes " which pupils of school No 2 of Gorodnya, Region Chernigov have sent to the editor of the newspaper "Narodna Volya " Mr. Nicolas Duplyak (Screnton, Pansilvaniya, the USA). In spite of the fact that children personally have not gone (did not personally outlive) through terrible (frightful) days of tragedy, they very really and sensitively could display (represent) all difficulties of those terrible days in the works of art. It was appreciable, that those tragical days will not be erased from memory of rising generations.

Wonderful addition to the first part of the exhibition was other exhibition under the name "My dear Ukraine, my native star land! " In it children of the same artistic group of Gorodnya school under the direction of Mrs. Valentina Khmelenok represented (displayed) their feelings about the present and the future of our Mother Ukraine. It was pleasant to observe, that the rising generation sees their Motherland flowering (blossoming), smiling, full uplift and cheerful (vigorous) mood. If our children – our future – see Ukraine such, it remains only to believe that they will build it just the same.

We truly grateful to the young artists, which inlaid a soul in the artistic works, that represent history, contemporaneity and future of Ukraine. The future of our Motherland is in your reliable hands - so, all the best to you in your not easy, but extraordinarily important work.
