After receiving the letter asking if I could help the hospital children, from Alexander the student we corresponded for a while,then his letters stopped. I decided to try and find more details about
Malin Hospital, but how to proceed, I sent a couple of letters addressed to what I thought was the correct address but no reply returned.
Then I saw an advertisement in a newspaper about a lecture in London University. the subject was Chernobyl and its aftermath. I got the overnight bus to London and went to hear the lecture by Mr. Anatoli Artemenko a Ukrainian. After the lecture I met him and other Ukrainians socially. Returning to Glasgow that night, tired but happy to now have a Ukrainian English speaking contact. I could now plan my first visit to Ukraine, with the help of Anatoli who would be returning back to live in Ukraine the following year.
