Who are the “Children of Chernobyl”?
They are children who live in the radioactive zones of Belarus and still breathe in air that has been contaminated, they eat from a contaminated food chain and live in appalling conditions of deprivation and poverty following the major catastrophic disaster in Chernobyl on the 26th April 1986
A local group of Friends of Chernobyl's Children from Helpston, host about 23 of Chernobyl's children between the ages of 8 to 11, in their homes, for a month in July, for respite from the contamination when it's at its worst. It is a very moving and charitable act and the host families fully embrace the experience. It costs each participant a significant amount of time and money, which provides its own rewards in abundance.
