Children of Chernobyl : Raising Hope from the Ashes
Although years have passed since the nuclear plant at Chernobyl exploded, the scope of the disaster and its long-term effects are only coming to light. Beneath the surface of the land, in the fields and forests, and even in the food supply itself, lie hot particles of plutonium and other radioactive poisons that will threaten the children of Chernobyl for the next 20,000 years.

This book was less about the "Children of Chernobyl" and more about the bragging of a religious organization.

Not what I was expecting, I picked this up without reading anything on it so that was my fault.
I was hoping to read about the children, what they went through, what they remember, what happened to them.
Instead this book was about one specific religious organization and what they did to help.
They didn’t talk much about the children, but what the organization did for the DRs to help the children and what they brought to the cause.
I felt this book was bragging about about all this organization accomplished, which is great, but not what I was hoping to read.
