DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary film screening and choral concert will be offered on 
 Saturday, April 21 to benefit the work of Biointensive for Russia (BfR)! 
 The proceeds will benefit BfR's partners who teach the GROW BIOINTENSIVE 
 Sustainable Mini-Farming method in Eurasia, as well as children with 
 radiation-induced cancer in Belarus. Experiments have shown that 
 Biointensive techniques help to reduce the radiation in vegetables by up to 
 30 percent.\n\nArrive at 6:45 for the 7 pm showing of "Chernobyl 20," a 
 compelling 28-minute film that will be introduced by its producer, Yelena 
 Zmushko.  The documentary presents the lingering radiation effects of the 
 1986 nuclear catastrophe at a children's cancer center in Belarus, 
 Zmushko's home country. Revealing the suffering still being experienced 
 twenty years after the accident, it exposes the disinformation provided by 
 the national and international authorities; see www.chernobyl20film.com for 
 details.\n\nNext, the Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble will perform a capella 
 songs devoted to vegetable garden themes. The renowned nine-woman choir has 
 concertized nationally and internationally, including on radio and 
 television. It is considered the foremost interpreter of Balkan and Slavic 
 songs in the US.  In collaboration with a nonprofit organization in Oregon, 
 Kitka held a concert previously to benefit BfR's Russian partner, the NGO 
 VIOLA. \n\nProceeds of the benefit will support GROW BIOINTENSIVE workshops 
 and experiments to be conducted by two of BfR's Eurasian partners:  the NGO 
 Viola, in and near the Chernobyl radiation zone, and the Agrocenter in 
 Uzbekistan, teaching also in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The Children's 
 Oncological Center of Belarus, featured in the Chernobyl film, will also 
 benefit.\n\nTickets may be purchased via Kitka's website (www.kitka.com) 
 and also from BfR .   Advance purchase is recommended!\n\nFor more
