“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2016 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 11 In this month’s issue of OL, I share my description of the intense and actioned-filled trip I took to Ukraine with UNWLA VP Roksolana Misilo. It is my hope that my summary of this trip illustrates and underscores for our membership that the UN- WLA has become a familiar, well-respected organ- ization in the lives of many people, organizations, and institutions in Ukraine. August 16, 2016. We arrive in Lviv. August 17. We visit the Mental Health Institute (MHI) at the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU). The MHI (which has been sponsored by the UN- WLA since February 2016) is partnering with the UCU Rehabilitation Center to provide no-cost therapy for the military, the wounded, and the families of the wounded and fallen. Its official name is Prostir Nadiyi. Dr. Oleh Romanchuk, Di- rector of the MHI, and Vitaliy Klumchyk, Acting Director, gave us a tour of the renovated facilities, which will provide training for psychologists as well as treatment to clients. Both gentlemen shared with us literature published by the MHI on various psychological issues, e.g., essays and arti- cles addressing children dealing with war, life after war for the military, etc. The MHI officially opened on November 21, 2016. Vitaly Klumchyk, Roksolana Misilo, Marianna Zajac, Dr. Oleh Romanchuk, Andrij Kurochka August 18. Visit with Lviv 80 th Brigade of para- troopers. Nearly two weeks earlier (on August 2) the UNWLA donated “Taras M,” a robot simulator designed to help teach first-aid skills related to chest compressions and ventilation, to the 80th Brigade. The system offers a very effective tutorial on cardiopulmonary resuscitation. I visited “Taras” and the brigade of paratroopers on August 18. The medical personnel of the brigade warmly expressed their gratitude for the UNWLA’s excep- tionally useful gift. I also visited with Dr. V Obara- nets, the director of Hospital #8 in Lviv, who pre- sented the UNWLA a certificate of gratitude for our organization’s donation (made in July 2016) of wound care apparatus for the care of pediatric burn care patients. Visit to Lviv 80 th Brigade of special services As noted in previous issues of OL, the UN- WLA sponsored several summer camps, which were organized by Fr. Stepan Sus, Chaplain and Pastor of St Peter & Paul Garrison Church, for the families of the heroes of the war in Eastern Ukraine. It was my great pleasure and honor to meet with a group of these youngsters as they were travelling through Lviv on their way home to Za- porizhia from the camp in the Carpathian moun- tains. It was heartwarming to see the unspoken bonds these children had forged with each other while at the summer camps. Meeting with summer camp participants in Lviv
