SUMMARY

Although years have passed since the nuclear plant at Chernobyl exploded, the scope of the disaster & its long-term effects are only now coming to light. Especially hard hit are the hundreds of thousands of children exposed to radiation through the dust on their shoes & the food they eat. This book is the heart wrenching & inspiring account of the suffering caused by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster & the valiant international efforts of volunteers as they pooled their resources to deliver lifesaving medicines to the people of Belarus. Olga Korbut, former Olympic gymnast, is from the area of Eastern Europe most heavily affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. As the mother of a child of Chernobyl, she & her family left Minsk because of the dangerous levels of radioactivity. She then established the Olga Korbut Foundation to raise money for bone marrow treatments for children from her home country of Belarus. Michelle Carter is the managing editor of the San Mateo Times & a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism. She is founder & chair of a United Church of Christ Children of Chernobyl Project. Michael J. Christensen is the director of the Chernobyl Mental Health Project, sponsored by World Vision & Citihope International. A graduate of Yale University Divinity School & an ordained Nazarene minister, he is the author of CITY STREET, CITY PEOPLE, THE SAMARITAN'S IMPERATIVE, & C.S. LEWIS ON SCRIPTURE.
