In 1992, Clif and Galina Sanderson came to the United States seeking support for their healing project for children in Chernobyl. Hundreds of children were either dying or being deformed from radiation exposure. The Sanderson's responded to the many needs of those affected by this tragedy but found it necessary to appeal for support to continue their work. Individuals from across the United States decided to form FOCUS International with the Sandersons to support the effort to offer healing to children in need everywhere, with a special emphasis on the needs of the Chernobyl children. A Lehigh Valley group of supporters took a special interest and agreed to be the pivotal international center for the group. Mr. Richard Lane helped form the organization and continues as acting Treasurer for FOCUS International and Executive Director of the Lehigh Valley chapter. Many wonderful projects and accomplishments have taken place through Clif and Galina's work and the cooperative efforts of FOCUS. However, because of Russia's huge political change in infrastructure, many of the original plans for FOCUS were not able to be actualized, such as a Healing Center for the Chernobyl Families in Lake Baikal, Siberia. FOCUS has continued it's original mission by expanding and developing new programs which benefit children and youth worldwide. Clif and Galina Sanderson currently live in Australia and continue their healing projects and writing, Clif's latest offerings are two non-fiction books - Dancers in the Fields and Making Outrageous Claims. The Sanderson's also have various videos, CD's and tapes available which help support FOCUS International. This information is protected by the copyright laws of the United States.
