‘help’. In subsequent years, Mrs. Krawczuk has done much more than ‘help’. She has developed and overseen the pen pal project from the beginning and made it grow.” Since 1981, Anna Krawczuk has also been Social Services Chairperson on UNWLA’s National Executive, responsible for other demanding programs, such as UNWLA’s Scholarship Program. Mrs. Krawczuk is generous in her praise and thanks to the individuals in various countries who have helped publicize the Pen Pal Center by informing and encourag ing people in their communities to join. These individuals are: Olha Korczagin of Brazil, Ivan Zacharchuk of Aus tralia and Lidia Lushpynsky of Illinois. “Without these people, our Center’s membership would be much smaller,” says Mrs. Krawczuk, who is a member of UNWLA Branch 86 in Newark, N.J. Publicity about the Pen Pal Center has been sent to 26 different Ukrainian newspapers and other publica tions, in both Ukrainian and English, including, of course, UNWLA’s O u r L ife magazine. Also, brochures have been distributed at many Ukrainian events and also sent to Pen Pal Center members who have further distri buted them. Also, word-of-mouth publicity has been an important aspect of popularizing the program. Many letters to the Pen Pal Center have come from distraught Ukrainian parents who write: “P le a s e fin d a g o o d U k ra in ia n b o y fo r o u r d a u g h ter. It w o u ld b e a sh a m e fo r h e r to m a rry a n o n -U k r a in ia n ." Such requests have come from countries as divergent as Canada, USA and Brazil — obviously, the problem of mixed marriages is a serious one which exists everywhere and which de serves our attention. A Ukrainian father writes to the Pen Pal Center from Australia: “ I h a v e a fin e so n , b u t u n fo r tu n a tely h e d o e s n ’t k n o w h o w to w rite o r r e a d U krainian . Is th ere a U k ra in ia n girl w h o c o u ld c o r r e s p o n d w ith him in E n g lis h ? ” Comparable requests have come from pa rents in South America, with the language of correspon dence varying, of course. Currently, the parents of a the ology student who plans to marry have written to the Pen Pal Center, seeking Mrs. Krawczuk’s assistance. For Ukrainians who are dispersed around the world, the Pen Pal Center helps maintain their sense of national identity and links with their brethren. “Letters mingle souls,” Anna Krawczuk says. The lives of many members of UNWLA’s Pen Pal Center have been enriched by this “mingling of souls,” as have the lives of their families and their communities, which have the potential of being linked by a global correspondence network.
