Her speech was inspiring not only to us, standing behind her, but also to peo- ple who know us and support us on a weekly basis. “Our diverse team of activists is ready to dedicate time, resources, and expertise to contribute to the success of the UNWLA’s mission in Texas.” With this statement, we formally opened our branch in the late afternoon of May 18. Branch president Kate Voinova began the event with a history of the UNWLA. The cel- ebration, led by MC Olenka Bravo, included a pinning ceremony for all our new members. The group chose Kvitka Cisyk, a world-re - nowned Ukrainian American singer, as patron of the branch. The ceremony was followed by a concert that featured original Ukrainian mu- sic, written and performed by Alex Syedin; a reading by Albina Pozdnyakova of her original poetry; and, for posterity, many, many photos. We all wore our finest vyshyvanky and later enjoyed a wonderful buffet provided by our members. “Our branch aims to strengthen and sup - port local education initiatives for our future generation.” On the morning of May 19, we continued our celebration by visiting a Ukrainian school established and run by UNWLA members from this new branch. With students’ ages ranging from 4 to 10, we were shown the classes, the books, and the children engaged in learning activities. We received a wonderful tour from school President Natalya Gavryshko, who an- swered questions about the school, the pro- gram, and what makes it a success. There are currently six classes, and the children are taught to read and write as well as Ukrainian history and literature. The school is managed by Natalya, Kate Voinova as VP, and Tania Ka- kovska as Secretary. In addition to our UNWLA members, spouses help out when needed. Lis - tening to young children sing our national an- them inspires all of us not only to keep going, but to go forward for their future. Welcome to all our new Soyuzianky! Wel- come to our sisterhood! Photo: Yevhen Altyn Weekly rally at state Capitol in Austin, TX, May 18, 2024.
