Charity head hopes Belarusian children can return

Trip prolonged following cancelled flights

It’s understood Belarusian government officials are far from happy after an annual children’s trip to the Island was extended.

Seventeen children and two interpreters were left high and dry last Thursday night after their flight back to the UK was cancelled.

It means they are not able to return home to Eastern Europe until later in the week.

Friends of Chernobyl Children organiser Norman Rivers hopes common sense prevails.
