Thank you for your donation
We are supporting the Portsmouth & Hayling Island Link (PHIL) of the Chernobyl Children Life Line Charity (CCLL). We arranged each year for 12/14 children to visit Portsmouth and Hayling Island on a recuperative break from the either Belarus or the Ukraine.
You may already know that as a consequence of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986 some 25 years ago, many of the children from Belarus and the Ukraine suffer from or will go on to develop genetic blood disorders, thyroid & bone cancers and leukaemia and / or experience social hardship.
The four week recuperative break, away from contaminated food, water and air boosts their immune systems to make a real difference to their health and lives. We try during the visit we get the children involved in many activities to give them a chance of a life time and make the visit as much fun as possible as most of the children will never be able to return.
As a group we have to raise over £8,000 to actually get the children to the UK and for the other costs throughout the visit.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, but every penny counts, so please if you can support me to support these Chernobyl Children it would be appreciated
