Meeting prior the Conference. Fr. I.: Iwanna Ratych, Laryssa Skoryk, Tanja B. Chomiak, Iwanna Rozankowsky. of them. In New Jersey, some ideas for exchanges were advanced. But we should be beyond the idea stage. A base has been set up for us by the Americans who have been in the field for as many as 10 years. We have con tacts in Ukraine. What is missing is the actual bridge. The Young Women’s Panel raised interest in the opportunity for organizing our own exchanges. To us, the panelists, these seemed perfectly viable. Dudaryk had a successful North American tour. Children of Chernobyl Relief Fund has sent millions of dollars worth of medical supplies to Ukraine. And Ukrainian political figures pass through Washington, DC, offices at the rate of one or two per month. This does not compare to the numbers of young children attending each other’s ele mentary schools and camps throughout the US. From the vantage point of the Young Women’s Panel, it felt as though the ball had been passed to the four of us on the dais and to those we represented. I felt inspired to take the resources I have gained at ISAR and combine them with the resources and energy of UNWLA. Add to this combination the experience and dedication of our key note speaker, Larysa Skoryk, who addressed us and then ran off to catch a flight back to Kiev and the stu dents who had just begun their October strike, and we have a ground fertile for some very useful and far- reaching projects. All that is needed is the initial push. Before the next “Woman in Two Worlds” confer ence it would be useful to see Ukrainian groups pooling their resources with those of established American groups. We Ukrainians should help the American groups sort out the mess of the Soviet Union crumbling into its organic parts. And the American groups could pass on to us some of their know-how in sorting out the sources of available funds. Then the next conference will be a time to compare notes on the first steps of project for children from Ridna Shkola to spend a month in inten sive language training in Kiev, for college students to have an organized way to establish parliamentary intern ships in Ukraine, and for Ukrainians to come to the US and work with us in our various professions —Tania B.
