HAVANA, Cuba, April 8 (acn) The Association of Women for Genetic Reserve, a Ukrainian organization, handed over to the Cuban embassy in
the capital Kiev a letter expressing gratefulness for the medical
attention given to over 20 thousand children affected by the Chernobyl
nuclear accident.
Association member Lilia Piltiay stressed what he called the gesture
of a small country without precedents and with a strong international
humanitarian impact. Piltiay gave the letter to Cuban ambassador to
Ukraine Ernesto Senti in the presence of members of the Communist Youth
Organization of the former Soviet Union who organized the first
transfer of the children to Cuba in 1990.
Participants recalled the first flight to Cuba with 139 children in
March 1990, which was received by Revolution leader Fidel Castro at
Havana's International Airport.
Thousands of those kids are now young men who carry out their normal
lives and contribute to their society thanks to the supportive gesture
of Cuba, which for nearly 20 years offered medical attention to nearly
25 thousand children affected by the nuclear accident.
