Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
At the end of May Glen and I will be carrying out a twelve day sponsored hike along the Pembrokeshire coast path in aid of Chernobyl Children's Lifeline. This charity does a huge amount of vital work for children who have been affected by the Chernobyl diasaster. Just some of the work they do includes:
- To bring child victims of the Chernobyl disaster to the UK for recuperative breaks of four weeks - over 46,000 have been brought over to stay with host families since we started in 1992.
- To provide on-going supplies of multi-vitamins and basic healthcare products to the children on their return (thousands of tonnes in the last 9 years).
- To work with our Belarusian partners in Minsk and Gomel, to locate children who are in need of recuperative care from outlying villages.
- To help children too sick to travel by providing chemotherapy medicines to Children’s Cancer Hospitals in Minsk, Gomel and other regions.
- Support with medicines and equipment: No. l Baby Home in Minsk, and many other orphanages.
- When needed, bring children to the UK for long term medical care and education.
- Support Kobrin children’s village.
