“I'm extremely relieved that we are over the line” - that was what Dnipro Kids Appeal chairman Steve Carr said of the successful evacuation of many Ukrainian orphanage children to Scotland.
Perth businessman Steve was waiting on a train from London King’s Cross to take him home on Thursday March 24 following the experience of a lifetime: assisting a group of 49 Ukrainian orphans from their war-torn country.
Having first travelled on a special relief flight from Warsaw to Heathrow, their next plane came down in Edinburgh on Wednesday night after an agonising two-week travel visa hold-up.
