The Healing Land

Sabina Filanovich lies exhasted on a bench at Manor House Park, Pembrokeshire, U.K. She was later taken to hospital after complaing of pains in her stomach and was diagnosed with a urine infection. Chernobyl children have weak immune systems and are prone to illness and infection. 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’
