4 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, СІЧЕНЬ 2016 December 9th Meeting with Rev. Fr. Zeleniuk, former dissident and a partner for Dr. Maria Fur- tak as she travels to visit Ukrainian soldiers in military hospitals. Fr. Zeleniuk offers spiritual support to the wounded. Meeting with Paraskovia Dvorianyn, Dep- uty Chair of the Oblast Council of L’vivshchyna. This presented an opportunity to familiarize Ms. Dvorianyn with the extensive work of the UNWLA as one of her top priorities is improving the lives of people in her oblast. December 10th Visit to Dzherelo, a children’s rehabilitation center, whose vision is one in which children with disabilities in Ukraine are given the opportunity to realize their fullest potential, both physically and intellectually—in a society that ac- cepts as well as respects their rights and appreci- ates their unique gifts. The UNWLA has support- ed this center in the past and continues to com- municate with its leadership. We met with Dr. Oleh Romanchuk, Direc- tor of UCU Institute of Mental Health, in order to discuss the Institute’s plans to deal with post- traumatic stress syndrome and the returning mili- tary population and their families. We attended the open lecture series with- in the UNWLA Women’s Studies Lectureship at UCU. The lecture was very well-attended. We were able to witness the lectureship’s growing success thanks to the determination and focus of coordinator Halyna Teslyuk. December 11th Visit to Hospital #8 and Dr. Vasyl Savchyn with whom the UNWLA has been partnering for five years. Dr. Savchyn and the As- sistant Director of the hospital, Dr. Oleh Stoyanovskyj, demonstrated the use of several pieces of medical equipment which were donated by Shriners and transported by the UNWLA. They also showed us the storage of medical supplies and materials received in the same manner for the future use of the pediatric burn unit headed by Dr. Savchyn. We attended the presentation of the UN- WLA-sponsored documentary film, Ms. Maydan , within the framework of the UNWLA Women’s Studies Lectureship at UCU. Farewell dinner with the U.S. medical team and the Ukrainian medical support team at the home of Dr. Vasyl Savchyn. All those attend- ing felt great pride and accomplishment after a grueling week of intense work. Congratulations to one and all! December 12th At the invitation of Oreslava Chomyk, President of the National Women’s League of Ukraine, we attended the annual Na- tional Board meeting. Prior to the official opening of the meeting, an interview was given to L’viv TV. At this conference, the UNWLA received certifi- cates of appreciation from Archbishop Ihor Woz- niak of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and Patriarch Filaret of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Kyivan Patriarchate. In addition, the Di- rector of the regional children’s hospital also passed along his personal gratitude through Pres- ident Oreslava Chomyk. December 13th Departure from L’viv and flight back to the United States. As you can read from the above summary, our trip was very busy, extremely interesting and rewarding. Many new contacts were made; new and possible initiatives were discussed. The UN- WLA’s profile has risen considerably—unfor- tunately, it is during a time of political uncertain- ty and human suffering in Ukraine. Each of our members should feel proud and hold her head high as we have formed a solid support system for our brethren in Ukraine. Here’s praying and hoping that 2016 brings hap- pier times to Ukraine! I wish all of our readers much good health, happiness in their personal lives, and success in their organizational endeavors! May God bless us and all Ukrainians! ____________________________ Від редакції: Українська версія і додаткові знимки будуть надруковані в лютому.
