6 OUR LIFE • June 2022 the multi-faith event Phoenix Stands United With Ukraine on April 16, 2022. UNWLA Branch president Christine Boyko with Kim Coving - ton, Vice President of the Arizona Community Foundation. In March, the Foundation sent an $8,500 grant to the UNWLA. Our Culture Chair Oksana Piaseckyj (third from right) was invited to a lunch hosted by Sylvia Iriondo, President of Mothers & Women Against Repression, to meet with seven Cuban women who are actively involved with a coalition of Cuban organizations to bring democratic change to Cuba. They understand the suffering and the devastation com - munism inflicts, and are now devoting their attention to Ukraine's war and want to help as much as they can. They have already staged demonstrations in the Cuban commu - nity and sent $25,000 to the Stern Foundation in Warsaw for humanitarian aid for Ukrainian refugees. After meeting with Oksana and learning about the UNWLA, several fund - raising events were planned to support our cause. CULTURE Public advocacy can take different forms – asking your Representative or Senator to support a bill to aid Ukraine, or attending events in your community and sharing our vibrant culture and language, and the truth about Ukraine. The Kiwanis Club of Martin County in Florida worked with local school-based clubs that wanted to do something meaningful. They decided to let Ukrainian children know that there are children thousands of miles away who are thinking about them. The result was a letter-writing campaign, with the UNWLA help - ing to get the letters distributed.
