The Chernobyl Children's Project relies upon the generous support of corporations and individuals just like you. Perhaps you are aware of a friend or neighbor who has participated in the CCP's efforts. In fact, we hope someone you know -- either an employee, colleague, or friend -- referred this Web site to you because their family hosted a child. If that is the case, then they can tell you more eloquently than written words what the experience meant to them.

It is truly amazing how much activity can be packed into a six-week summertime visit! Click the photo thumbnails below to view the image.
This gallery is just a small sample of the photos CCP host families have taken during the Belarusian children's visits.

Junior Ambassadors Annika Erickson and Meaghan McMahon put together a fantastic slideshow presentation of photos taken from the 2006 visit.

TWO WEEKS ago, a group of Belarusian children arrived in California for six weeks of fun with host families in Marin and Sonoma.
For the children, who hail from regions affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, it's also an opportunity to strengthen their immune systems with fresh air and clean food and water.

!! Thank You !! to everyone who joined us Saturday May 3 for our annual fundraiser to benefit the children of the Belarus. Thanks to your generosity the event was a big success!!

The event was held at the Sally Tomatoes Event Center

We like to throw and go to parties as much as the next person! Here are just a few of the upcoming events we are participating in. 

Please check our Event Calendar for more events and meeting dates.

This was Oleg's second trip to Petaluma this year. He is shown here with Tanya and other kids from CCP host families. CCP is very grateful to Oleg and the Belarus Embassy for all of their assistance this year.
