“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, КВІТЕНЬ 2010 15 OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. LXVI I APRIL 2010 SHARING T HOUGHTS, VIEWS, & NEWS As you celebrate Easter, may you and your families be blessed with joy and happiness! In the past few issues of Our Life, I began my column by commenting on the elections in Ukraine — either from the perspective of waiting for a r ecount or that Viktor Yanukovych had won the election in what was seen by most international monitors as fair. We now find ourselves in the position of witnessing rapid changes in Ukraine. The new government has new ministers and new viewpoints; our percep tions about all of these changes are still fluctuating. In connection with these changes and how they are being perceived, the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations (of which UNWLA is a member) has issued a public appeal to the new President of Ukraine . (Please see page 3 . ) The statement requests that President Yanukovych continue on the democratic path of the evolving new government of Ukraine and calls for the Ukrainian language to remain the official language of Ukraine. Among other things , the appeal asks that the President protect the culture and historical legacy left to us by our ancestors, continue public and official recognition of the Holodomor, and cultivate and engender unity in Ukraine. The UNWLA supports WFUWO’s statement, and it is certain that our membership will be following the events in Ukraine with much interest and anticipation. As mentioned in last month’s issue of Our Life , Natalia Duma has retired as administrator of our main office in New York City. At our Executive Co mmittee meeting on February 20, Mrs. Duma was presented with a certificate of appreciation, a bouquet of flowers, and a pearl necklace. A short biography of Mrs. Duma was read by the First Vice President, after which each Executive Board member personally wished her a healthy and peaceful retirement. At this same meeting, Iryna Koshulap (see OL Nov 2009, p. 12) was officially presented with a UNWLA stipend to help cover her expenses during her doctoral studies. Ms. Koshulap is enrolled in a PhD program in Gender Studies at the University of Budapest, and her thesis will focus on the UNWLA. This stipend is offered to young women in graduate studies focused on a Ukrainian theme. We congratulate Iryna and wish her much success in her further work. _________ _____________________ UNWLA President Marianna Zajac, Iryna Koshulap, and VP for Culture Sophia Hewryk
