The Children of Chernobyl return to Place and Nevada Counties once again for the Summer of 2007. This year the Children arrive at SFO so the welcoming committee was a bit smaller than last years group however no less enthusiastic. Margie Shafer from KCBS News Radio 740 was there to cover the event as it unfolded.
Check back for more pictures and video throughout the Summer of 2007.
