HISTORY:
Following a visit to
Ukraine by Faina Leznik after the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, the
International Children's Charity Foundation (ICCF - "HELP FOR/THE
CHILDREN") was founded. With "THE CHILDREN OF CHERNOBYL," a program
designed to help the children who were victimized by Chernobyl nuclear
disaster, ICCF began its crusade to alleviate the suffering of children
worldwide.
With ICCF - "HELP FOR/THE CHILDREN" and its "THE CHILDREN OF
CHERNOBYL" program, terminally ill children and their doctors were brought
from Ukraine to Los Angeles, California. In Los Angeles the children were
able to get critical medical help from Dr. Robert Gayle, a Professor at
the UCLA Medical Center. Furthermore, ICCF - "HELP FOR/THE CHILDREN" in
Kiev was able to send eleven groups of approximately 500 children to Italy
and France to receive medical treatment and rehabilitation
therapy.
Nearly 40 tons of medicines, baby formula, clothing, and
other humanitarian aid were distributed to several orphanages and
pediatric hospitals, including Borznynskay School-Orphanage, Kiev Infant
Orphanage, Gorenka School for Chernobyl Children, Kagarlek Delivery and
Pediatric Hospital, Orphanage School #3, Kiev, Zgurovskay
School-Orphanage, Volodarskay School-Orphanage for orphaned children,
Vorzelskay Infant Orphanage, Clinical Institute-Problems of Pediatrics,
and many others.
"THE CHILDREN OF CHERNOBYL," thus, became the first of many
programs ICCF - "HELP FOR/THE CHILDREN" initiated and/or participated in.
Since 1991, ICCF has been on a crusade to help the suffering of children
throughout the world… and the struggle continues.
