10 OUR LIFE • November 2022 Our relationship with UGS started with Marianna Tretiak, Chair of the UNWLA Advocacy committee, who also man - ages the mentor team at UGS. In May 2022, UNWLA Pres - ident Natalie Pawlenko and Marianna, along with other Soyuzianky active in the area, introduced the UNWLA to future Ukrainian leaders at a UNWLA-sponsored brunch in Washington, D.C. UGS’s rigorous selection process ensures that only the most motivated and talented Ukrainian high school stu - dents from modest backgrounds can participate in the program. UGS has helped 192 Ukrainians receive over $50 million in scholarships to top global boarding schools and colleges. In exchange, students commit to returning to Ukraine for five years to rebuild the country. “This is the future leadership of Ukraine, and so much hope is placed on these students,” says Natalie Pawlenko. The students immediately impressed her with the breadth of their per - spectives, creative thinking, and eloquence. Earlier in May, the UNWLA helped UGS student Olha Shapovalenko secure an internship at The Ukrainian Mu - Alina Zhurbenko , UNWLA Communications Coordinator After the brunch in Washington, DC, in May, UGS students gifted the UNWLA with a Ukrainian flag, signed with their names and schools in Ukraine. UNWLA WELCOMED UKRAINE GLOBAL SCHOLARS AS SUMMER INTERNS 2022 This summer, the UNWLA welcomed an exciting, although temporary, addition to its team: six Ukrainian interns from the Ukraine Global Scholars Foundation (UGS) joined various committees to gain skills and experience in working in a large non-profit organization. Their contributions have taught us and inspired us as well! seum in New York. The UNWLA offered more internships in the early summer. They all left a lasting, positive impression on our team. A rising sophomore, Nataliia Shyika worked with Natalie Pawlenko on various member - ship development, branding, and research tasks. "It was quite funny to see how, at the beginning of the internship, despite my pre - vious experience managing local projects, I was always waiting for Natalie's advice to understand what exactly was needed and what the organization expected,” admits Nataliia. “But as time went by, I was confi - dent enough not only to complete the tasks but to add my knowledge and perspective to projects." As an intern, Nataliia generat - ed an extensive list of press clippings about the UNWLA since February 24, 2022, which helped us understand our impact as an or - ganization.
