“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, КВІТЕНЬ 2017 WWW.UNWLA.ORG 9 of this incredible journey. Our cooperation with the Basilian Fathers, many of whose rectors were "our" students, continues until the present. We are immeasurably grateful to Bishop Dionisio Lachovicz, OSBM, not only for his wise counsel but also for continuous contacts with us. We will never forget the late Bishop Efraim Krevey who provided steadfast spiritual support throughout our work in Brazil. A sincere thank you should also go to all former and current scholarship students from their sponsors for their conscientious efforts in their studies! We are proud of each of our students! We also acknowledge the support of the many people who responded to a call or a letter or an article to become active and generous participants in this great enterprise. Many of these supporters have stood with us from the earliest days of the program. Others came on board later. From 1991, when Ukraine proclaimed its independence from the USSR, many Ukrainians in the diaspora continued their support by helping the youth of Ukraine. They understood very well the potential of the UNWLA’s endeavors and decided to direct their support to the needs of the Ukrainian nation. All members of the UNWLA Scholarship Committees deserve our thanks, because for 50 years they dedicated their efforts and time to the success of our scholarship program. The impact of their work is underscored by the comments of Larysa Kobelyanska, one of our trusted and helpful associates in Ukraine. In her greeting to the UNWLA for the 50 th anniversary of the UNWLA Scholarship Program, Larysa Kobelyanska emphasized the meaning of the Scholarship Program: "You shared with our children not only money, but your belief in their patriotism and service to their country; you expressed your hopes for them, as future professionals; your expectations for the development of Ukraine and her respected place in the world. The scholarships, which the children received, were for them not only desired but also awaited, but even more important was the lesson of goodwill and kindness which they received from You. And, I am sure that they will remember it their whole lives." From the founding of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America in 1925 we have fought on the international arena to keep Ukraine "alive" before the world in times of its enslavement, especially in the twentieth century. From the founding of the UNWLA Scholarship Program in 1967 it has been of utmost importance to us that the recipients of UNWLA scholarships were aware of their Ukrainian heritage and were proud of not only their mother tongue but also of the country of their ancestors—Ukraine—and loved her. We were not alone! We are profoundly grateful to all who worked with us, both in the Ukrainian diaspora and in Ukraine and to all who support us financially and morally. Only because of your support, understanding, and cooperation are we able to see the success of the UNWLA Scholarship/Children-Students Sponsorship Program. May God Bless You! Lviv, Ukraine, 2008.
