To give some

of the Belarusian children a break, Fayette families participate in a

national program called The American Belarussian Relief Organization (ABRO).

"Essentially,

families adopt the children for six weeks, pay for their travel expenses,

and make sure they receive health and dental care, along with packing

their bags with new clothes for their trip home," Hatcher explained.

Last summer

ABRO brought 424 children and 32 chaperones. Fayette area families hosted

about 50 of the children.

To give support

to those families hosting the children, River's Edge Community Church

will sponsor a Parent's Night Out, April 21 and May 19 from 6:30 until

midnight. A tax-deductible donation of $10 is suggested for each child.

For more information,

call the church office at 770 719-0303.
