This year the world marks the 25th anniversary of the worst nuclear disaster in history in Chornobyl.
To once again put a spotlight on its long-lasting legacy and help victims, NGOs, businesses and other activists have started a project called “Remember.”
A weeklong string of classical and jazz concerts, art exhibits and theater plays will help organizers draw attention to the cause and collect money for children affected by the Chornobyl disaster.
All the proceeds will be used to buy equipment to store blood donated to treat children suffering from cancer.
