president of the European Regional NCW. President Boeykens has long been an important friend to Ukraine. At the ICW conference in London in 1986, for example, she was instrumental in having a resolution passed on the nuclear explosion at Chornobyl. At the conference in Helsinki, she expressed her desire to help not only the NWCU, but also her intention of working through the Belgian government to help Ukraine secure a place in the European Union. We also attended several receptions. One such occasion was our meeting with Ukraine's Ambassador to Finland, His Excellency Ihor Podoliev. We met the Ambassador and his wife Olena at the Ukrainian Embassy, a spacious building situated in a charming area of Helsinki. During the meeting, which had been arranged by WFUWO President Oksana Sokolyk, the Ambassador spoke of Finland's supportive attitude toward Ukraine. He is a music lover and as a gracious host, played the piano for us. We had previously met Olena Podoliev, a pleasant and intelligent lady, at the ICW conference where she attended the Plenary Session as an observer. We also attended a fashion show, hosted by the NCW of Finland, which was held in the largest depart ment store in Helsinki. The 29th ICW conference in Helsinki, Finland will be inscribed in gold letters in the history of the Ukrain ian women's movement. The UNWLA extends warmest congratulations to our sisters in Ukraine on regaining their full membership status in this prestigious world coalition. The 30th General Assembly of the ICW will take place in Australia in the year 2003. Though the event is far away, one can speculate about the ICW's future. At the present time, the organization is dominated by Euro pean women, however, I believe this will not last long. As a long time participant of the ICW, I foresee that women from the Far East will eventually assume leadership roles in the organization. They are business-like, well- off, persistent, and eager to make changes in an old system. While we admire these characteristics in others, we can strive to achieve them ourselves.
