Help Us Help The Children (HUHTC), a project of Children of Chornobyl Canadian Fund (CCCF) celebrates a 15th Anniversary Gala Presentation, March 1, 2008, at Toronto’s Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex on the Lakeshore at the CNE in recognition of its humanitarian assistance to thousands of orphan children in Ukraine.

HUHTC’s many programs and initiatives are made possible through the continued support of businesses and individuals. Join the HUHTC in celebrating 15 years of dedication to Ukraine’s orphans and take this opportunity to better their lives.

HUHTC has delivered humanitarian aid to over 200 orphanages including much needed medications, vitamins, clothing, footwear, toys and educational materials.  HUHTC has enabled specialized surgeries, prosthetics, assistive devices and ongoing rehabilitation and care for orphans with birth defects and physical handicaps.  HUHTC organizes annual summer camps benefiting over 5000 orphans.  Not only does each child receive much needed medical and dental attention, clothing, footwear and hygiene materials, but their participation in life-skills building workshops develops their self-confidence and instills in them a sense of pride in their accomplishments and hope for a brighter future.  HUHTC organizes annual workshops and provides educational materials to orphanage caregivers, teachers and directors.  HUHTC’s scholarship fund helps gifted orphans attain the knowledge, skills and experience required to find a fulfilling career and become productive members of society HUHTC’s collaboration with award winning journalist and author, Victor Malarek, has raised awareness of the global issue of human trafficking to which the orphans are extremely susceptible.

Proceeds from the 15th Anniversary Gala Presentation will support Help Us Help The Children’s many programs reminding Ukraine’s orphans that they have not been forgotten and discarded but are capable of growing into a strong and confident new generation.
