Chernobyl Children International

Earlier this year, BBC launched a powerful podcast ‘Assume Nothing: The Radiation Holiday’, sharing the extraordinary story of CCI Ambassador Raisa Carolan, which we were delighted to have been part of.

From abandonment at birth as a result of her disabilities, being discovered at just 4 years old by Adi Roche and Ali Hewson, to finding a loving home in Ireland with the Carolan family through CCI’s Rest and Recuperation Programme, Raisa’s journey is one of incredible resilience, hope, and determination.

Now a successful professional in Dublin’s tech sector, Raisa is joined by Adi as she searches for answers about her painful early life of abandonment, neglect and incarceration.

The full 8-part series is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major podcast platforms.

A story of courage you won’t want to miss.
