Ukraine appeal

The board of the Leleka Fund is writing to organisations, businesses and individuals, hoping that we would find support and help in our work. The Leleka Fund is an officially registered organisation (the registration number is 0037-97 in the Ministry of Justice in Kiev. The fund seeks persons who can help Ukrainian children by organising recuperative trips and improving the children's health. The board of our organisation has prepared a new project titled "Clean Air", whose main objective is to organise these recuperative trips for children and youth from Ukraine who live in the areas contaminated by the radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986.

We hope that some of your readers, including families or organisation, would be able to receive Ukrainian children for Christmas which would give them an opportunity to breathe clean air and to eat fresh, food free from any possible radiation. It would be a great opportunity for them to experience your culture and traditions as well.

Anyone who can help should write to the Leleka Fund at PO Box 328, Kiev-2, 02002, Ukraine; fax: 0038+044+5624119; e-mail: fund_leleka@ukr.net
