The Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, together with the councilors of Social Policy, Equality and Health, Maria Martinez, and Education, Tourism and Culture, Maria Celeste Soria, gave yesterday welcomed the 6 young Belarusians who this year will spend a few days different families of Mazarron, through the NGO "Solidarity Mazarrón" involved in this initiative that is conducted without interruption for 15 years.

All young people, aged between 10 and 14, repeat visits this summer and may well continue to receive the treatment they have been submitted in past years to mitigate the effects caused by nuclear radiation that occurred because of radioactive explosion of the Chernobyl plant.

Families are at the expense of this treatment, as well as the stay of young people in the township.

Hence, the Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, has wanted to "carry out the reception in recognition of these families who make the extra effort for this good cause, to which other citizens should be proud."

Precisely because of the solidarity objective of the initiative the mayor announced that "now that we have approved budgets, the City will seek ways to make a financial effort to help with this project to the NGO Solidarity Mazarrón."

The secretary of that organization, Julio Rodriguez, thanked the Mayor to "have put a small allowance, which is very commendable that we are now experiencing an economic situation really complicated."

Rodriguez also said that "we miss more families to participate in this initiative and that this year, many children have lost ground because the families are very poor economically."

This situation has been particularly evident in one of the municipalities where they had a greater involvement of families, Lorca, where, because of the earthquake now does little more than a year, many families have been unable to join the initiative.

For this reason "Mazarrón Solidarity" wants to send a message of cooperation and assistance so that next year the number of children and young people are seen not see again declined.
