Story

<p>Hi everyone.</p> <p>This summer I'll be visiting Belarus to work with the Chernobyl Children's Project.</p> <p>Every Summer, 120 Belarusian children with special needs leave their orphanages to enjoy three weeks of fun at a holiday camp in an uncontaminated part of the Belarussian countryside.</p> <p>I need to raise money to cover costs, but any extra money will pay for a disabled young adult to visit the camp as well, as the government do not fund adult holidays.&nbsp; So any extra donations are welcome!</p> <p>http://www.chernobyl-children.org.uk/&nbsp;&nbsp; - This is the link to the charity if anyone would like to find more information about the charity.</p> <p>Also, remember to select 'gift aid' if you're eligable. The charity get 25% extra on top of your donation, so it makes a huge difference!</p> <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
