2. Poland
5. Pristina
6. Prague?
16. Pripyat - many children from there were hosted by Guernsey families over numerous consecutive summers to give them good food, extra vitamins, healthcare & fresh air. Apparently, a health boost like that, even for a comparatively short time, paid dividends for their long term health.
