Jennifer Hubbard pnoto Seaforth's Dolmage, Kale and Dawe families were among the 30 walkers who took to the halls of Central Huron secondary school recently to raise money for Huron County Children of Chernobyl. A total of $3,000 was raised in the ninth annual walk, which will be used to help 18 Belarussian children that will be arriving in Canada on June 26 to stay with area families for the summer. Three new families are Chernobyl hosts Susan Hundertmark Three new Seaforth-area families will be hosting Belarussian children this summer as part of the Children for Chernobyl in Huron County program. "It's always good to get new families involved," says long-time host and organizer Lynn Dawe. Lynn and Jim' Dawe have .been involved in the program for seven years and will be welcoming Sasha Tisbouk, 15, back into their home for the sixth time this year. While Sasha's younger sister Lena, 13, has also visited a, few times, she will not return this year because, ranked in the top 10 of Belarus's young ten- nis players last year, she will be training at home all summer. Formed in 1998, the Huron County chapter of Child "ren of Chernobyl brings children, who are still suffering the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear dis- aster of 1986 to Canada for a respite visit. With a homeland affect- ed by toxic pollution in the soil, plants, food, air and water, Canadian fresh air and nutritious food helps to improve the children's immune systems and reverse the ill effects of radioactive contaminants they are exposed to daily. "Our kids are healthier now than they were when they started doing this," says Lynn. Evelyn Stam, of Winthrop, says she and her husband Henry got involved in hosting this year after hearing that Lynn was having trouble placing a 10 -year-old girl. "I said, `We'll take her.'" says Evelyn. "It's some- thing we always wanted to do." Evelyn says she and her husband have adopted children and been foster parents so getting involved with Children of Chernobyl seemed a nat- ural step. "The more kids you know from around the world, the smaller the world gets," she says. Laurie Dolmage and her husband Larry, of Seaforth, will be 'hosting a 12 -year-old girl. "It's to open up our eyes. There's a big wide world out there and kids need help. everywhere. And, I want my kids to realize how lucky they are," says Laurie. Nancy and Kevin Kale will also be hosting a 12 - year -old girl. "We've been thinking about it for awhile and this is the summer to get involved," says Nancy. The extra three families in Seaforth bring the total of host families involved in the Huron chapter up from 15 last year to 18.
