Destination Organization	Desired size	Colors Patterns	Quantity desired	Desired date(s)	Guild Contact Person	Additional comments
Chernobyl Children Project USA 75 McNeil Way Suite 305 Dedham, MA 02026 781-251-0137 ccpusalinc@aol.com www.ccpusa.org	No larger than 45x60	Children Teenagers	20 to 25 quilts	July 1 of each year	Tina van Roggen	Every year between 80 and 100 kids from the Chernobyl region come to our area for free medical/dental treatment and a breath of fresh air and better food for a month. We try to make sure each kid can take back a small quilt. Use low-loft batting due to limited space and weight in the kids’ luggage. The recipients are 8 to 16 years old. Last year animal quilts were really popular. Some like pink quilts, or brightly colored quilts, or quilts with things like teddy bears on them, some pick quilts with flowers - it really varies. In general, avoid quilts that have writing on them, since their alphabet is different than ours but quilt labels are fine.
