One individual mentioned in the 1929 issue of Zhinocha Dolia also noted the birth date of Olha Kosach (June 17, 1852). The sister of M. Drahomanov, Olha Kosach (who used the pseudonym Olena Pchilka) was a writer and ethnographer. She is, however, best remembered as the mother of Lesia Ukrainka, Ukraine’s most beloved and most widely read woman poet. The almanac also suggests dedicating a week in the month of June to children and urges parents to take steps to enroll them in Ukrainian schools and activities. Many of our communities in the diaspora have followed this path; in some of our communities, for example, graduates of our Ukrainian schools will be attending gala ceremonies honoring their successful completion of twelve years of Ukrainian studies. In connection with the theme of education, I would like to share with you some information about a program that was presented at the Ukrainian Consulate in New York by Ukrainian Saturday SUM School in New York City. During this presentation, which I attended with the editor in chief of Our Life , the school’s directors announced that “Summer Courses in Ukrainian for Ukrainian American Youth” will be held from July 27 to August 31, 2006, at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. As I write, the program organizers are forming a committee of educators who will be working on this project to ensure its success. It is a wonderful proposal for a wonderful project that will give Ukrainian American youth an opportunity to learn and to see with their own eyes places that they have only heard about or read about: the building where the first Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine was housed, the site where Ukraine proclaimed its independence, and many other places that are significant in Ukraine’s history. The young people who attend this program will also learn more about the rich culture of a nation that has survived through the centuries despite foreign domination, environmental disasters, and man-made tragedies. For further information about this exciting program, please contact Ms. Bohdanna Wolanska, Principal of the SUM Ukrainian Saturday School, at 917-747-7996. On the 20th anniversary of the nuclear explosion in Chornobyl, many programs and exhibits were held throughout the United States. Among these was an outstanding commemorative exhibit at the Ukrainian Museum in New York City and a two day conference held by NGO organization International Information At the ceremony of ringing the Japanese bell in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl nuclear disaster.
