Since starting my charity initiative to help Chernobyl Children’s Project International save the lives of children in Ukraine and Belarus, I’ve been most moved by the personal stories of the children. Every year, 6000 children are born in Ukraine with genetic heart disease. Half will not get the surgeries they need to survive and will die.

Chernobyl Children's Project International (CCPI) helps children and families in communities that suffer the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986.
As a mother myself, I really believe that it is important for people — especially children — to look forward to the future with hope, not with fear and dread. Chernobyl Children's Project International's calling card is one of hope. They work to interrupt the domino effect of poverty, poor health, and social upheaval that continues to plague so many in the region. They offer solutions and partnerships, not mere charity.
I always dreamed that if I were so fortunate as to have my music heard, I would want to use that opportunity to do something good. With the release of my charity single, Angel, and the song/video downloads you see on this website, I've decided to focus my fundraising efforts on CCPI's children's cardiac program. Today in Ukraine, 6000 children are born every year with genetic heart defects. More than half of these children will not get the surgery they need to survive and will die. Together, we can save these lives.
Chernobyl Children's Project International sends volunteer surgery teams to Ukraine and Belarus to perform free surgeries and train local surgeons.
Chernobyl Children's Project International has a number of wonderful initiatives offering hope today in Chernobyl affected regions of Ukraine and Belarus. If you would like to learn more about CCPI, you can go to their website at http://chernobyl-international.org. You can also see videos of their work on YouTube or follow them on Twitter @Chernobyl.
One of the things that really attracted me to CCPI is their focus on volunteerism. It's truly in their DNA, with volunteers from the United States and Ireland regularly traveling to Ukraine and Belarus to work side by side with their professional peers. If you are a nurse, doctor, dentist, physical or occupational therapist, or speech/language pathologist I urge you to contact CCPI and see if there is some way for you to get involved. You can reach them at info@chernobyl-international.org. Likewise, if you would like to help with fundraising or spreading the word, please get in touch — we need you, too! Working together we can make a difference in the lives of these children.
Love, Oksana
