Our children with their interpreters in 2003

Our group, founded in 2001, has just completed 5 years of hugely successful visits by a party of 14 children from Mogilev in Belarus. These visits, in addition to improving the health of the children, have given them much joy and love. For us, their hosts, it has been a most rewarding and never to be forgotten experience.

The original children have now completed their 5 year programme and we are, this year, looking forward to the first visit of 13 children aged 7/8 during the month of August. Hopefully to watch them grow in good health over the next 5 years.

We are always pleased to hear from families in the area who are interested in hosting a child or helping during their visit. Anybody interested should contact our co-ordinator David.

If you can help us in any way in raising the funds that are needed to finance the visits please contact our fund raiser David. All of the money we raise is spent directly on the children none of our hosts or helpers are paid.
