Eighteen children from Belarus will arrive on the Island this weekend for four weeks of rest and recuperation.

Friends of Chernobyl’s Children (Isle of Man) is once again bringing a group of young, underprivileged children who are suffering the after-effects of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster to the island.

The children will arrive on Saturday and stay with local volunteer host families.

The Chernobyl disaster took place in April 1986 when a nuclear power station overheated and caused an explosion.
