When it comes down to it... aren’t we all just Children at Heart?
Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl (CCOC) is a not-for-profit organization that evacuates kids from the radioactive Chernobyl region and provides them with critical medical care, new homes, and excellent education in Israel.
CCOC also provides children currently living in the radioactive zone with medicine and advanced medical equipment.
Academy Award Winning Actor, Jon Voight, traveled halfway
around the world, ten hours into the future, and over the roofs of many of our
homes to meet Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl’s 80th Rescue Mission
on the tarmac of Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel.
"The Chernobyl
Nuclear accident was twenty years ago and while it has faded from most
Americans' minds, the health effects of it are still very much being
felt. And this is true in Ukraine and Belarus and Western Russia, but it
is also turning out to be true in New York and some other places in the United
States." -- Richard Perez-Pena, New York Times
