Once again, we reiterate the underlying aims of this contest: — To actively involve our youth in the planned commemoration of the Millennium. — To encourage the learning of Ukrainian language and history. — To leave a document which will show that during this historical celebration, we focused particular attention on our youth. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONTACT: UNWLA — Branch 64 108 Second Ave New York, NY 10003 NEWS FROM UNWLA HEADQUARTERS The Executive Committee of the UNWLA announces that the panel judging the VIII Literary Contest of Lesia and Petro Kovaliw did not award any prizes. The distin guished jurors were Dr. Assya Humesky, Dr. Laryssa Onyshkevych and Wasyl Sokil. The jury did give special commendation to the novel Ostaniy Postril (The Last Shot) by Roman Kolisnyk, for its interesting unfolding of the story which presents a segment of the Ukrainian fighting forces during World War II. UNWLA, INC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Our scholarship program is continuing with great success due to the generosity of our sponsors and benefactors. We extend our heartfelt thank you to all of you! By July 17, 1986 (this being the period of winter school vacation in South America) we were able to help 605 students in Brazil and Argentina by forwarding sti pends in the amount of $112,491.00. Only 45 of our scholarship recipients did not have sponsors, therefore they received $ 50.00 each from our fund. In the very near future we must send scholarships to our students in Europe. We ask sponsors who have students there to send your contribution to us as soon as possible, so that we can forward the same to your child. For more information on how you can become a sponsor please write to: ANNA KRAWCZUK UNWLA INC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM CHAIRWOMAN 18 TELEGRAPH HLL RD HOLMDEL, NJ 07733 From the desk of Lidia Czernyk, chairman of the Social Welfare Commission... Due to Soviet policies, we cannot extend any direct help to the unfortunate victims of the Chornobyl nuclear accident in Ukraine. Therefore, we ask members of UNWLA to help our needy families, particularly children and young people in Poland. As we all know, they too have suffered the consequences of this tragedy. During the May meeting of the Regional Council Presidents, addresses were distributed to which various types of aid (clothing, food, medicines, etc.) may be sent. Medical aid to sick children in Brazil and Europe sponsored by the UNWLA is continuing. In January 1986 two young girls in Brazil, Marta and Elizabeth, recipients of the UNWLA scholarships underwent serious operations. Marta had to have surgery twice, but today she is attending school and feeling well. Elizabeth is a child from a very poor family of 11 children and could not count on any financial support from her parents. After an extensive surgery and recovery period, Eliza beth, too is feeling better. Recently our office received a letter and photo of Leia Lubachevsky. She cannot walk, but there is hope that surgery may be able to help. Another child, Ber nadette Konopacky, suffers because of a poorly developed leg. Every waking moment the young girl feels pain and discomfort. Medical aid and surgery is needed for her also. These children and many others like them rely on the goodwill and generosity of the supporters of the UNWLA Medical Aid Fund to give them a new lease on life. The administration of the Fund is extremely grateful to all those who have so unselfishly donated to this very worthy project. 28 ’’НАШЕ Ж ИТТЯ”, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ 1986 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
