THE children of Chernobyl dived head first into their four-week stay this week with programme organiser Nicola Dunklin saying: "It's as if they had never left!"
The 17 Belarussian youngsters, who will be staying with their Melbourn host families for the next month, embarked on their programme of fun-packed activities and medical care on Monday.
Taking part in a number of activities, including a trip to the play scheme Cheeky Monkeys, art and craft sessions, English lessons, and trips to the park, the children ended a busy day by jumping into the McSplash swimming pool in Melbourn.
Nicola said: "It's been a really smooth start, and the children have slipped straight back into the programme. It's almost as if they had never left!"
