16 WWW. UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИСТОПАД 2013 Genocide by Dr. Valentyna Bory senko, was pu b- lished by our organization. This book was mailed with a cover letter to all leading U.S., Canadian, and British universities, and UNWLA members were asked to donate the book to their local l i- bra r ies in order to share this important info r- mation with our neighbors. On the 80th annive r- sary of the Holodomor, a reprint of the comme m- orative issue of Our Life from 2003 was ordered and will be dis seminated to UNWLA Regional Councils . T he UNWLA has been an active me m- ber of the U.S. Holodomor Committee since its inceptio n ; our organization has offered continued support for adopting the topic of the Holodomor into middle school social studies curricul a; and UNWLA members participate in annual co m- memorative marches and services in their local communities . Our commitment — both as indivi d- ual Ukrainian women and as an organization — to the remembrance of the victims of the Ukrainian Genocide of 1932 - 33 is ste adfast and will continue . We are awaiting final information on the blessing of the cornerstone of the Holodomor Memorial to be erected in Washington, D.C. (completion targeted for November of 2014), and we congratulate the U.S. Holodomor Committee, chaire d by Michael Sawkiw, on this outstanding success! May I suggest that as we celebrate Thanks giving this year, with our family and friends gathered around a festive table, we take a moment to remember the victims of the Holo do - mor while we thank the good Lord for today’s blessings. Inter - Regional Meeting on October 5, 2013 by Ulana Zinych The Executive Committee of the UNWLA has made a commitment to disseminating info r- mation related to UNWLA bylaws to all its me m- bers. They decided to hold periodic inter - regional meetings which will encompass all Regional Cou n- cils of the UNWLA at differing times. Various to p- ics will be discussed depending on the needs of the membership. A decision was made to hold such a mee t- ing o n October 5, 2013, at the UNWLA Headqua r- ters. It was designed for presidents, organizational chairs and treasurers of Regional Councils and their local Branch counterparts of the New York, Central New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey and New England Regions. The meeting started at approximately 10:30 AM with twenty - five attendees. Three me m- bers of the Executive Committee, Ulana Zinych, Nusha Macielinski and Roma Shuhan, served as presenters. Ulana opened the meeting with a prayer, which is customary for our organization. She then asked all present to introduce themselves and, if willing, tell something about themselves that might help all to remember them. Ulana’s charge was to present the spirit of the UNWLA. To accomplish this task, she highlighted our ext ensive acco m- plishments — work that makes us a cohesive group and gives us pride in our organization. What could better represent our “spirit”! She outlined the more important activities starting with the very early work of the organiz a- tion, especially durin g the Holodomor in 1932 - 1933 when the UNWLA informed the U.S. go v- ernment, including the President and Congress, of the tragic events taking place in Ukraine and i m- plored their assistance. She further highlighted the significant aid provided by the UNWLA to those in displaced persons camps after WWII. Later, during the period of the Cold War, the UNWLA provided assistance to people in Ukraine, and, when nece s- sary, corrected misinformation about Ukraine in the U.S. media. After the Chornobyl tragedy the UNWLA established funds to help hospitals which treated victims of Chornobyl. More currently established funds and pr o- grams were mentioned as well, such as aid to s e- lected nursing homes in Ukraine which was esta b- lished to celebrate the UNWLA’s 85th anniversary . The most recent highlights mentioned were our efforts to help pediatric burn victims in Ukraine, specifically in the L’viv region. This project started as direct aid to the burn unit in Hospital #8 in L’viv and has taken on more depth and breadth through a partnership with DOCTORS COLLAB O- RATING TO HELP CHILDREN, INC. By partne r- ing with this not - for - profit organization, we will be able to upgrade the quality of care for pediatric burn victims. The burn unit will be provided with medical equipment and conti nuing education for medical professionals. The culminating highlight of UNWLA’s work is the Lectureship in Women’s Studies initiated by us at the Ukrainian Catholic University in L’viv.
