Chernobyl Orphan Group

 

In 2007 the charity Medicine & Chernobyl (Blyth) disbanded. In November of the same year the charity, 'Chernobyl Orphan Group Medicine & Chernobyl Amble' was formed to carry on the good work...

 

In 2010 we intend to bring nine children and one interpreter from Mstislavl (Mist-i-slav-l) in Belarus for a month of respite and convalescence in Northumberland. The children come to Amble in June & July the worst period for airborne contamination in the hot dry summer of their home town. We give them a month of good wholesome food, especially fresh fruit and milk. More than this they get a month of love and individual care, plus enough warm clothes to see them through the harsh Belarusian winter.

 

The COG charity compiles a fun, educational & health improving program for the children. Events include camping, canoeing, swimming, picnics, ice skating, museum visits, music evenings, sailing, zoo & historical site visits. These events are often donated by friends of the charity or organised by host families.

  

 

Druridge Bay Country Park

Chernobyl Orphan Group children at Druridge Bay

Pictured above right are five of the children (Misha, Leosha, Sasha, Lisa & Kristina) enjoying the picnic day at the Druridge Bay country park in Northumberland. The morning was spent playing football & flying kites, followed by a delicious picnic lunch. The afternoon was a casual walk through the park then on to feeding the wild birds. 

 

 Medicine & Chernobyl children visit to Alnwick Castle

Alnwick Castle Medieval Adventures.

 

Pictured left, the children enjoying dressing up at Alnwick Castle. They very quickly learnt how to use the medieval pillory...

 

(The medieval sunglasses were optional)

 

The children enjoyed the 'Knights Quest' activities and the archery. They were amazed by the guided tour of the castle accommodation.

 

The  birds of prey demonstration and the Harry Potter characters topped off a very special day.
