Can you Help us to Change the life of these Children
INTRODUCTION TO THE CCLL
Chernobyl Children Life Line's main aims are:
- To bring child victims of the Chernobyl disaster to the UK for recuperative breaks of 1 month - over 40,000 have been brought over to stay with host families since 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 6 years).
- To work with our Belarusian partners in Minsk and Gomel, to locate children who are in need of recuperative care from 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: The Baby Home in Minsk, and many other orphanages.
- Bring over children to the UK for long term medical care and education.
This is some of the things we do to help the children to recover and build up there immune system
Arrival
The children arrive many of them with only the clothes they are wearing, while they are here they are supplied with clothes and vitamins to help them build up there immune system. the difference in just one month is amazing to see.
Then after a 5 hour journey up the motorways they meet their host families where they get to know them.
the next day we have a meeting at a friend to the link's house were everyone has a get to know the children opportunity and a chance to show the children how welcome they are.
over the next couple of days they are taken to see dentists, opticians and doctors where they are provided with the necessary treatment that they may need, all of which is donated by the dentists, doctors and opticians in there free time.
Then they are taken out on a variety of activities and trips
Pleasley Vale Outdoor Center
At the fire station,
After the first week of visits and activities there is a free week for host families to take the children away on holiday or out with them swimming and getting to know each other, its a free week so its up to them what they do. All the time the children are here they are building up there immune system eating lots of fresh fruit and Vegetables and taking all the vitamins that they cannot afford back home.
A trip on the EWS company Train
After the free week they then go on a variety of trips out getting to know the culture and sites around the local area including a trip to a theme park and also a trip to the seaside, which many of the children have never seen the sea before.
