There are currently more than 145 links throughout the UK. This link was set up in September 2000 and the first group of 9 children were hosted in July
2001 for 4 weeks. In between those dates much time was spent fundraising as it takes around £320 in order to bring each child over from Belarus.
The visits are viewed as holiday of a lifetime by the children and that is what we try to give them.
We collect sallow faced children with dark circles around their eyes from the airport . After a few weeks of eating well and breathing the uncontaminated
air we are able to deliver back to the airport bright eyed and pink cheeked, healthy looking children, who have had (we hope) their holiday of a lifetime.
We bring 10 children twice a year - February and mid June to mid July
These children are the victims of the 1986 nuclear explosion in Chernobyl,
Ukraine. See the Chernobyl Children Life Line website www.chernobylchildlifeline.org/
We are always looking for volunteer families to host 2 children at a time 2 or 4 weeks at a time.
