Transfer president, Dr. Christina Durbak. One of the speakers at this program was the Permanent Repre sentative of Ukraine to the United Nations, His Excellency Valeriy Kuchinsky. A General Assembly was dedicated to this anniversary and included an exhibit in the lobby of UN. Many UNWLA members participated in these programs. We received a thank you letter from Mr. Kuchinsky, thanking us for our participation. The letter is published in the Ukrainian section of this issue. Another letter published in this month’s issue (featured below) was received from a recipient of a UNWLA scholarship. It is a heartwarming letter that testifies to the impact our organization can have on the lives of young people and their future. I hope that it inspires our readers to continue their generous support of the UNWLA Scholarship Program. In closing, I would like to extend an official welcome to new members of our organization who joined the ranks of UNWLA after the 2005 Convention. They were invited to join the organization by Roxolana Yarymovych, member of Committee on Organizational Affairs that is chaired by UNWLA Vice President Marta Danyluk. Please join me in welcoming Tania Cox-Koropecka, Daria Zachar, Natalie Nazark-Stefan, and Tatiana Thompson-Yarymovych to the UNWLA. Recent articles in Our Life have focused on the history of the UNWLA’s Scholarship Program and on fundraising endeavors to support this most worthwhile cause. A letter received by UNWLA President Iryna Kurowyckyj underscores the value of the Scholarship Program, both to recipients and to the organization. Dear Ms. Kurowyckyj, My name is Sonja Pavlesen. I was born in Bosnia as a fourth generation Ukrainian immigrant and studied Medicine at University Zagreb Medical School in Croatia. During my student years (1991 through 1997), I got a scholarship from the UNWLA, which helped me a lot, especially during the difficult "war time" in the former Yugoslavia. Afterward, I practiced medicine in Zagreb for a few years before I moved to the United States. My husband and I live in Buffalo, New York, where we have faculty positions at State University of New York at Buffalo. My research area of interest is women's health and osteoporosis. I am parishioner of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church, where I sing in the church choir together with Mesdames Santarsiero, Pikas, Prawak, Deputat, and others. I want to thank the UNWLA for all your help and for understanding how important it is to support young Ukrainian people/students all over the world to achieve their goals! Looking forward to meeting you soon, Sonja Pavlesen, M.D. Post Doctoral Fellow Dept. Social & Preventive Medicine School of Public Health and Health Professions State University of New York at Buffalo
