We are always eager to see the new arrivals from Belarus. Here, at Manchester Airport, is the first glimpse we had of the children that stayed with us for four weeks in July/August 2006

For the children it is like something out of a fairy tale yet at the same time rather daunting. This may be the first time they have left their parents let alone been abroad. What lies ahead for them? What will their host parents be like? Will they miss their mum?

We are just one of about 140 "Links" around the country all working towards the same goal - that of relieving suffering in Belarus. Please read items "From The Core" which will tell you more about these common goals and some background information
