Ayrshire Link of
Chernobyl Children's Lifeline would like to welcome you to our website.
Please take some time to browse the site
where you will find information on the valuable work that the charity undertakes
- providing recuperative holidays, medical treatment, and ongoing support for
the innocent victims of the world's worst nuclear disaster - the children of
Belarus
Ayrshire Link extends a warm welcome to anyone who feels they can make a contribution, however large or small, to this very worthwhile cause. With a growing band of people from all over Ayrshire working towards improving the lives of the Chernobyl children we're able to make a real difference. So please read through the content on this website and get in touch. Make new friends at home and in Belarus and know that you are offering hope to live.
2006 - the most active year yet!
2006 has become one of the busiest years ever for Ayrshire Link,
with three separate visits in February, July and November. We'd really like to offer our wholehearted thanks for the fantastic support
from local businesses, clubs, schools, tourist attractions and individuals who have raised money, donated clothes,
and worked tirelessly to help the children who have visited Ayrshire this year.
So now we turn our attention to the November 2006 and February 2007 recuperative visits for Belarusian children still being affected by the disaster.
Please get involved...
Ayrshire CCLL is a charity that allows you to see the direct results of your efforts. To bring happiness and joy to children who have to deal with the harshest of living conditions and the ongoing threat of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster.
The
following quote is from Dr. Zolovok, Director of the Soligorsk
Region children's hospital.
"For
each child taken to the U.K. they are 'returned' two years of life. We
are hostages to the hazardous
aftermath of radiation
and the future of our very race is threatened with extinction as our children,
our gene pool, are seriously ill. In the midst of this tragedy we have been
given hope by the people of the U.K. Thank you for supporting the lives of
our children."
