Anna’s story: From Belarus to Bandon Agricultural Show
She works locally in the offices of the Irish Cattle Breeders Federation, and has a good strong Bandon accent, but Anna was born in Belarus in June 1992, and she is a Chernobyl child.
She was born with a number of physical difficulties as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and the first three and a half years of her life were spent in a babies’ home in Belarus before Adi Roche stepped in and literally saved her life.
