Host families invite Belarussian children for six, eight, or twelve week summer vacations. The host family provides the Belarussian child with day-to-day care, including wholesome food and fresh air to help reduce radiation levels and improve their immune systems.

Although the children are considered healthy, their immune systems are weakened due to radioactive fallout. While in Canada, the children receive medical, dental, and optometric care not available to them in Belarus.

Host families are responsible for travel costs and living expenses while their child is in Canada. Our organization holds a variety of fundraising events and all proceeds are divided among the host families to help offset expenses.
