CCPI is so saddened to hear of the passing of Little Nikita Barukova. Nikita was just four years old. He was loved by so many people, in particular volunteers, staff and the nurses and community care staff who knew him for his short life. Nikita's passing is a double tragedy for his parents. His sister Julia passed away just last year and battled with the same illness as Nikita. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to his family and all the staff who were touched by this beautiful little boy. R.I.P. It is also at times like this that we are thinking of all the other Nikita's out there who are desperately in need of our help.

Children from the Chernobyl regions staying with the newly established South Dublin Outreach Group were introduced to Gaelic Sports at St Judes GAA club in Firhouse. The children participated with members of the club in a game of hurling and football training and afterwards there was face painting and the club held a big party. The day was a great success and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Each child was presented with a St. Judes club jersey to take home as a memento of their experience.
