Children in wheelchairs are normally educated at home in Belarus. But in 2005 we set up a small class for young children in wheelchairs at a lovely special school in Gomel. Six children are now able to attend school every day and they love it! Our minibus and driver collects the children from their homes and takes them back in the evening. Your gift will fund transport for one child for a week.

Children spend many months undergoing treatment at the Cancer Hospital at Barovliani just outside Minsk. Life during this time is full of fear and anxiety, but long periods in hospital can also be boring. A Gift will let the children know that we are thinking about them and wishing them a speedy return to health.

Your gift will buy a Christmas present for a family caring for a child with a terminal condition. Our home hospice team, including two nurses, a psychologist and a doctor, provides support and medical advice for these families on a regular basis.

We support a number of orphanages in Gomel Region, plus institutions for young adults with disabilities. At all these places, and the Psychiatric Hospital, the provision of art and craft materials – pens and pencils, paints and paper, scissors and glue, and sewing materials – will provide the children with hours of activity and fun.

You can buy this beautiful piece of pastel artwork by Allessia Barilova, a young woman with cerebral palsy who lives in Rogachev, Belarus. All the money from the purchase will go to the Rogachev Association for Families with Disabled Children, to keep them supplied with plenty of art and craft materials to hold their regular workshops.

Price includes postage and packaging. Frame not included.

We often receive SOS requests from the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Minsk for help in buying urgently needed medicine which is not available in Belarus. This medication is as vital as to enable a child to have a bone marrow transplant, which they would otherwise be too weak to have.

Young people with disabilities often live very restricted and difficult lives in State institutions in Belarus. Your gift would fund a two week holiday for a young adult at a Sanatorium (holiday camp) in Belarus, to have lots of fun and brighten up their lives.

At Zhuravichi Orphanage there are over 200 children and young adults with a wide range of disabilities. For the most disabled – those confined to cots or with severe learning difficulties – the extra carers we sponsor ensure that the children get the individual attention they need.

Every Christmas and summer we bring children who have had cancer, and are now in remission, for a month long recuperative holiday in Britain. Some of the children are very young, and come with their mothers. Others may be in their teens, but for all of them the holiday is an important part of their recovery process.
