Chernobyl children enjoy an 11th visit
to the Ribble Valley CHILDREN affected by the Chernobyl disaster are enjoying their 11th •visit to
the Ribble Valley. Visiting from the city of
Mogilev in Belarus, the chil dren are enjoying a four-week long visit thanks to the Clitheroe Branch of the Friends of Chernobyl Chil dren. This year marks the 20th
anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. The shocking incident hap
pened on April 26th, 1986, when the number four reactor a t Chernobyl nuclear power station situated in the Ukraine overheated and exploded. The deadly cloud blew
northwards and 80% of the fall-out covered the Republic of Belarus with intensive radioactivity. Residents were exposed to
radiation 300 times greater than released by the explosions of the atomic bomb at Hiroshi ma and Nagasaki, and it will;
be another 24,000 years before the land is deemed safe. Since the mid-nineties Ribble Valley, residents have been opening their hearts and homes to chil dren from Mogilev, an area th a t was hugely affected by the fall-out from the accident. The annual trips to the Rib
ble Valley give children the chance to escape their home city’s contaminated atmos phere and improve th e ir immune system. Ju s t a month breathing
“clean” air and eating good food during their visits to the Ribble Valley has been found to improve their health dra matically. The group of 17 children,
who are accompanied by two interpreters and have been in the Ribble Valley for almost two weeks now, are enjoying a wide ranging programme of activities. These include day trips to
Blackpool, the Forbidden Cor ner, Harewood House and Manchester Science Museum.
Visits to four local schools, Ribblesdale Pool, Roefield Leisure Centre, Danceworks, Waddow Hall, Chipping’s Wild Boar Park and canoeing in (jhatburn have also been organised. Other trips will be to White
Scar Caves at Ingleton, Black- bum’s Wavelengths, a shoe fac tory, a barge trip and a visit to a farm. These visits are comple
mented most mornings by les sons and games, which are based at Clitheroe’s United Reformed Church. In addition, the children will
be entertaining residents at Corbridge Court and Bowland
Court, while a special ser’srice for the children, together with young people from the parish, will be held a t St Pau l’s Church, Low Moor. A farewell party will be host
ed by St Michael and St John’s Social Club. Members of the Friends of
Chernobyl Children' have expressed their gratitude to' the many individuals, church es and organisations such as Rotary, Lions, the Round Table and Lancashire County Council for the use of minibus es during the visit. Our picture shows the chil
