CHERNOBYL CHILDREN'S PROJECT (UK)

Aid update

On Friday this week we got a call from a charity in Wakefield, Yorkshire called ‘Friends of Belarus’. The caller was Jack Cooper, the local chairman, who having contacted our office in Glossop was given our contacts here.  Jack’s charity delivers aid from their base in Leicestershire each springtime to a school in a village called Ivanavo in the Brest region of Belarus.  They had surplus aid and wanted to offer it to CCP UK. So we collected it on Saturday, most ready sorted, packed and ready for loading. Quite apart from the very good aid  it was good to have the contact and already Jack has organised for us to give a talk to some of his team.

Sunday saw a heavy snow fall in our region and made it difficult for some of the team to travel to the warehouse where the plan was to load the 7.5 tonner for the upcoming convoy.  Alan Miles and John Withers made it but we were restricted to just preparing the vehicle and the loading will be attempted during the coming week.  On Monday Alan and John are going to Macclesfield and Chesterfield to collect aid.
