The folk art museum collection is exhibited in two rooms: one section dealing with almost every aspect of the Hutsul region, a sampling of objects from other parts of Ukraine, a map of various pysanky designs and folk costumes, a collection from Boykivshchyna (thanks to the Boykivshchyna Society) and many Ukrainian musical instruments donated by Mr. Walter Pelensky. Ms. Prokopovych has taught Ukrainian culture and language (on a volunteer basis) in the Philadelphia public schools. “It was such an exciting project,” she says of her experience teaching Ukrainian language to gifted children. She has also taught at the Ukrainian Saturday school where she says the Ukrainian culture course she teaches to 6th and 7th graders, "gets them (the students) very interested in learning more about being Ukrainian.” Ms. Prokopovych says she loves “just about everything” that comes with teaching. But most of all, she loves teaching young children that being Ukrainian “is something that makes them very special.” By promoting the Ukrainian Heritage Studies Center, Ms. Prokopovych feels children can actually see the different aspects of Ukrainian culture on display. “Some times children don’t really appreciate it as much,” she says, “until they see it at the museum.” Pysanky exhibit. The Ukrainian Heritage Studies Center at Manor Junior College depends on donations and is open from 9 AM to 1 PM, Monday through Friday, or by appoint ment. For more information contact Manor Junior College at (215) 885-2360. Ms. Prokopovych is determined to raise the general awareness of the richness of our culture. She feels that appreciation for Ukrainian culture begin in the home, and that we can instill a love for it “by teaching our children — we can’t let them forget!” A gerdan display, by Anna Halamay. Ms. Prokopovych remembers her school days when people labeled Ukrainians as Russians, and believes that society today is much more aware of what being Ukrainian means. Some of Manor Junior’s professors bring their classes to see the Center. One class was given the assignment to choose some display and research it. The next step was to write an essay on how that object fit into society in general. 22 ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 1993 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
