“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ-СЕРПЕНЬ 2015 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 17 W. Pazyniak, Fr P. Zelenyuk and M. Furtak with wounded soldiers. towns of Ukraine—the ones that are closest to the newly created buffer zone adjoining the “occupied” territories, and inhabited by pro-Ukrainian citizens who have found themselves trapped and struggling. However, considering the latest escalation of fighting on the East- ern front of the armed conflict, Bishop Daniel was advised by the local authori- ties to postpone the visit to the villages around Debaltsevo, Maryinka, etc. In addition to the visit to the Ky- iv center, His Grace traveled to L’viv Mil- itary Hospital in order to distribute the additional financial assistance to the wounded soldiers of Ukrainian armed forces that are going through the military medical institution in hopes of full physi- cal, moral, and spiritual recovery. A follow-up meeting with Bishop Daniel will take place after the Bishop’s return from Ukraine. The UNWLA thanks Bishop Daniel for accepting the responsibility of delivering our or- ganization’s aid to those suffering due to this un- precedented conflict. Almost simultaneous to Bishop Daniel’s mission, Dr. Maria Furtak of L’viv visited the two military hospitals of Kharkiv on behalf of the UNWLA. (Please see her article on page 4.) Dr. Furtak traveled with 84-year old dissident priest Peter Zelenyuk and member of Parliament Wasyl’ Pazyniak. In Kharkiv itself, a volunteer recruited by Member of Parliament and Head of the Par- liamentarian Committee on Corruption, Yehor Soboliev, escorted the group. In these hospitals, the wounded of the Luhans’k, Donets’k, Sumy, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Volyn’, Rivne, and other regions were visited and given financial aid as was deemed appropriate. Dr. Furtak underscored that although the financial aid to these wounded soldiers was pro- foundly appreciated and helped them and even their families in this crucial time in their lives, even more important to them was the knowledge that their sacrifice is appreciated, that their ef- forts in battle are valued, and that we all love them for being Ukraine’s true heroes. On June 9th, at the Academic Council of the Humanities Faculty at the Ukrainian Catholic University, Professor Halyna Teslyuk presented the proposed two-year plan of accredited courses and open lectures in the UNWLA Women’s Stud- ies Lectureship for the fall of 2015 through the spring of 2017. The plan was unanimously ap- proved! Additionally, instead of four semester- long courses, six will be offered through the Farm at the DP center near Kyiv. UNWLA Lectureship. (Please see the article in this issue on the latest news about the Lecture- ship.) We sincerely thank Professor Teslyuk for her daily efforts in the development of this Lec- tureship. We offer her our support and wish her good luck in formulating the courses and recruit- ing the faculty. Professor Teslyuk is also diligently working on the proposed UNWLA Lectureship website—a project funded by the UNWLA. As becomes clear from my reporting, our focus continues to be on social welfare and help- ing to alleviate the suffering in Ukraine. This is an ongoing process which will continue throughout the summer. Let us hope and pray that by the time of our return to “normal” life in September, some concrete steps will have been taken to end the painful war in Ukraine. In the meantime, we wish our readers and membership a restful and rejuvenating summer holiday.
