VIDOTRANS-HTG transport part loads as well as full loads to Belarus for over 25 organizations, Mostly this takes place in co-operation with the Belarus charitable organization “Kindness” in Minsk .

We make combinations of shipments in such way that we always drive with full trucks. This is the most advantageous way, for you and for us, even when it goes about smaller loads or in some cases a few packages.

The most of our transports to Belarus are designated to the children’s-home and villages that still have trouble with the after-pains of the “Tsjernobyl disaster”. Especially children are the victims of this disaster. Children between the ages of 10-13 years old belong to the increased risk group. The various forms of thyroid cancer occurs much more than before the disaster.

Prof. E. Demidchik, Komsomolskaya Pravda:
“In the twelve years before the Tsjernobyl disaster the registered cases of thyroid cancer were 8 in Belarus , in the twelve years after the Tsjernobyl disaster there were 547 children and 120 teenagers operated on various forms of thyroid cancer.”
