The Healing Land

Artur receives an examination at the opticians in Fishguard, West Wales, U.K. The children receive free medical examinations during their stay including eye tests, dental check ups and full medicals to ensure they are in a safe bill of health. The children will spend up to a month with host families around the Pembrokeshire area of the U.K. An astonishing 85 per cent of Belarusian children are deemed to be Chernobyl victims: they carry Ògenetic markersÓ that could affect their health at any time and can be passed on to the next generation. A vicious cycle that unfortunately could continue for hundreds if not thousands of years. From the series ‘The Healing Land’
