Three year old Kiril is a huge fan of the old cartoon Who's First -- a Soviet era favorite about a race between a bear, a fox, and a rabbit.  He also loves to swim and play in a sandbox -- but until last week, these more strenuous activities were off-limits. 

Thanks to your support, a volunteer heart surgery team is in Kharkiv, Ukraine.  Just this week, Kiril received a second chance at a full, happy life.

Every year in Ukraine, 6000 children are born with genetic heart defects. Half will not receive the surgery they need to survive and will die. Chernobyl Children International sends volunteer surgery teams to Ukraine, where they operate on children for free and save their lives. Donate Now to support this life saving work.
