10 WWW.UNWLA.ORG “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 2017 The season of Christmas, a time of giving and shar- ing, is quickly approaching. Please allow me to out- line a few of UNWLA’s “giving and sharing” initia- tives which transpired since the last issue of Our Life was published: When Hurricane Harvey hit Texas, m any Ukrainian Americans were among those who lost their homes and suffered severe damages to prop- erty. On November 1, 2017, the Ukrainian National Women's League of America sent $10,000 to aid these victims of Hurricane Harvey. T he donation was sent to the parish of St. Pokrova Protection of the Mother of God Ukrainian Catholic Church, which serves as the umbrella organization assist- ing Ukrainian American victims of Hurricane Har- vey. A questionnaire developed by the UNWLA, the Ukrainian American Club of Hou ston and the parish of St. Pokrova will determine qualification for assistance given to families. Chrystia Bryndzia, president of Br. 118 in Houston, is the UNWLA representative for the Hurricane Relief effort in Houston. Anyone who wants to contribute to the relief effort through the UNWLA should send a check made payable to the UNWLA to the UNWLA office with a note designating the donation for the “Hurricane Relief Fund.” (Address to office is pro- vided on inside front cover of every issue of OL). At the request of Rev. Fr. Petro Zhuk, who serves as Rector of the Kyiv Three Holy Hierarchs Spiritual Seminary in Kyiv, the UNWLA Executive Board voted unanimously to send financial sup- port for the personal expenses of 11 se minarians from the Donetsk and Kharki v Exarchies that serve the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizzha, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Poltava, Sumy oblasts or regions. These seminarians are unable to cover their personal ex- penses, and the request was for $400 per student for this academic year. As Re v . Zhuk explain ed in his letter to us, “The support of the priests of our Church in the territories of Eastern Ukraine, which has been burned out by the war, is an important step in establishing peace and soothing the spir- itual wounds that have been caused by the enemy. Therefore, your willingness to help is very good. We pray for all the members of the UNWLA, that for your generosity, the Lord grants you grace a hundredfold, and especially the gift of peace for each of you. " The UNWLA Executive Board also ap- proved an add itional donation of $13,600 to “Prostir Nadii,” the trauma treatment arm of the Mental Health Institute of the Ukrainian Catholic University. In his communication to us, Dr. Oleh Romanchuk noted that this additional amount would allow the trauma center to cover its out- standing expenses in the physical estab lishment of the center. Because the UNWLA was the major in- itial donor of “Prostir Nadii” and espouses the be- lief that healing the soul is just as important as healing the body, the decision was unanimously supported. Acting Minister of Health Dr . Ulana Suprun, UNWLA President and Consul Denys Semenovych at Consulate General Of Ukraine in New York At the annual gala luncheon held by the Ukrainian Catholic Education Foundation in New York City on November 5, the UNWLA was pre- sented with a certificate of appreciation by the President of the Board of the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU), Bishop Borys Gudziak. The cer- tificate is signed by the Patriarch of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church , Major Archbishop Sviato- slav and acknowledges the UNWLA’s contribution to UCU’s development through the programs it es- tablished and has supported within UCU. Besides continuing our support to “Prostir Nadii,” we are also expanding the Women’s Studies Lect ureship, a UCU project that was established by the UNWLA in 2012. The Lectureship added under its umbrella is the “Women’s Studies Center.” According to Dr. Marta Bohachevska - Chomiak, who is guiding this project, “ The unqualified five - year success of the S UA Women’s Studies Lectureship at UCU justi- fies our proposal for the expansion of the program. We propose to expand the lectureship into a Center
