VOICED : Portugal offers health boost for Chernobyl children

The video discusses a program that brings 34 Ukrainian children from areas near the Chernobyl nuclear plant to Portugal. These children live in regions still contaminated by radioactivity from the 1986 disaster. The program allows them to stay with Portuguese families, providing them with a healthier environment, good food, and sunshine, which helps boost their immune systems and clear radioactive cesium from their bodies. This initiative is scientifically proven to increase their life expectancy. The video also highlights the personal story of Victoria, a 16-year-old who has been part of the program for eight years, and her connection with her host family in Portugal.
