Summer Rest & Recuperation Children Arrive into Shannon
Adi Roche in Shannon Airport giving a warm welcome to the Summer Rest & Recuperation Programme children arriving into Ireland
Children from the Chernobyl-affected regions are arriving into Ireland as part of the annual Rest & Recuperation of children for summer holiday breaks. The children coming from the heart of the Chernobyl zone will be hosted by several hundred Irish families throughout Ireland as part of CCPI's Summer Programme. Nationwide, over 1,000 children will travel this summer to all corners of the country for their holiday break.
The Rest & Recuperation Programme was established to offer children from the regions contaminated after the Chernobyl nuclear explosion a vital break away from this unhealthy and dangerous environment. These much-deserved holidays will allow all the children to spend up to 3 months away from their radiation-contaminated homeland. The Programme was established 16 years ago and this year of the 21st Anniversary of the disaster, the Project will see the arrival of over 15,000 children in total under this scheme.
