The World Council of Social Services of the Ukrainian World Congress organized the Chornobyl Commission in 1986 that prepared and presented a report on findings regarding the Chornobyl nuclear dis aster to the Canadian government in 1988.

Ukrainian Canadian Social Services and other organizations have since sent medical equipment and medicines to various hospital and organizations in Ukraine.

World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organization member organiza tions sponsored children’s camps in their respective countries (Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, the United States and others).

Toronto, Canada — The Children of Chor nobyl Canadian Fund (CCCF) was founded to improve the health care and assist the victims of the 1986 Chor nobyl disaster. It included Help Us Help The Children (HUHTC) that focused on 120 orphanages throughout Ukraine and aided over 20,000 children. Project Na- diya/Dzherelo Rehabilitation Centre is giving hope to the children with disabilities. Yasen Children’s Rehabili tation Centre (where 200 children per month are treated) provides rehabilitation for children who have undergone oncologic therapy or are suffering from chronic physi cal disorders. Its aim is to expand current projects through a joint venture with the Ministry of Health, Ukraine, in education and rehabilitation. In November ‘95 a ninth trip to 88 orphanages in Ukraine is planned. In conclusion, the World Council of Social Services reports that concrete medical aid is a priority and con tinues to be sent to Ukraine by Ukrainian organizations in Canada, USA, Australia, Switzerland, England, Ger many and South America. From various reports, we know that in addition to Canada and the USA, countries worldwide (Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, Japan and others) are aware of the catastrophe and are very helpful. We thank the Cuban people for supporting camps in their country, for the children from Ukraine affected by the radiation. We thank UNICEF for sponsoring two camps for the Chornobyl children. The Chornobyl nuclear disaster is not over. It has become a global tragedy. We appeal to the world com munity to continue its assistance to those who are suffering and to do everything that is possible to pre vent another such accident.
