𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 — Social Care Worker Margaret McGuire recently availed of Odyssey's Volunteering Policy to support Munster Chernobyl Aid.
Clonmore team member Mags is involved in the charity’s work delivering humanitarian and medical supplies to orphanages, schools and families in Belarus, one of the regions most affected by the 1986 nuclear disaster.
Their next ‘Journey of Hope’ takes place in September and Mags was among the main organisers of a summer family fun day fundraiser in Faugheen, Co. Tipperary, featuring a concert by the Dublin City Ramblers.
Mags and colleagues are also pictured with guest speaker Polina Ismallova Dunphy and her daughter. As a child, Polina was assisted by the Chernobyl Aid Rest and Recuperation programme, staying with the Dunphy family. She uses their surname and fondly refers to John and Michelle as her parents. Her inspiring journey is told in 𝑈𝑛𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑑: 𝑆𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛 “𝐼𝑟𝑖𝑠ℎ” 𝑂𝑟𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑛.
Part of our H.A.V.E. Positive Impact charter, Odyssey’s Volunteering Policy enables employees to take 8 hours of paid volunteer leave annually. We’re delighted to see it being put to such good use. Well done Mags!
