Dear Chris and Em,
The staff of Kyiv-Svyatoshin area Chernobyl Center warmly welcome you on your noble action! We would like to also pass greetings from Boyarka city administration.
We appreciate your support and understanding of the Chernobyl catastrophy scale and the influence it has made and is still making upon people's health, mentality and their lives.
To all who live at territories hit by Chernobyl, psychological support and attention from other countries are very important.
We admire the apt timing of your action. In connection with the 20th anniversary of the accident, there is a desire by some to turn this page, play down Chernobyl consequences. The people who suffered as a result of the accident find it very hard to deal with. People feel like they are abandoned and forgotten. But your action will show many people that someone remembers and understands their tragedy. We give psychological help to victims of the Chernobyl catastrophy, so we know their feelings very well.
We will follow your tour and tell people about it.
We are happy and very enthusiastic at the opportunity to greet you in Boyarka! We are looking forward to meeting you! With admiration and love,
Ksenia Samoylenko,
Director of Kyiv Svyatoshin Chernobyl Center,
on behalf of the rest of the staff.

Dear Chris and Em,
The staff of Ivankiv Center for Social and Psychological Rehabilitation and Informing the Population on Overcoming the Effects of Chenrobyl "Dovirya" are very enthusiastic about the Christian and Emmanuelle's bike tour dedicated to dissemination of information on Chernobyl ad Chernobyl centers.
We are interested in international cooperation. This is a wonderful opportunity for us. Despite the fact that 20 years have passed since the accident, we have a lot of problems due to inconsistence of legal, social, psychological and medical approaches to minimization of effects of the disaster. We are pleased to note that the international community take interest in us, that we are not alone in our misfortune. Thank you very much for this.
We are looking forward to meeting you.
