28 OUR LIFE • May 2026 UNWLA Member-at-Large Tania Vitvitsky Shares Trip to Ukraine with Branch 56 ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ВІДДІЛІВ І ЧЛЕНКИНЬ • BRANCH & MEMBER NEWS Branch 56 held its general meet - ing on Saturday, February 14, at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church Hall in North Port and af - terwards hosted a light lunch and special presentation for mem - bers, guests, and interested local non-Ukrainians by Tania Vitvitsky, a UNWLA Member-at-Large from Massachusetts who was visiting family in the area. In a presentation titled “Eight Weeks in Ukraine, 2025: Resilience and Resistance,” Tania, the pres- ident of the Ukrainian Charitable Platform (UCP), presented pho- tos from her latest trip to Ukraine and discussed her work. The UCP is a non-profit humanitarian relief organization that partners with non-government organizations (NGOs) to help Ukrainian families, women, and children. The trip was Tania’s fourth to Ukraine since the start of rus- sia’s war. She traveled the entire country, starting from western Ukraine’s Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk Patricia Zalisko , Press Secretary, Branch 56, North Port, FL Photo: Bohdana Puzyk Photo: Tania Vitvitsky A photo of Kyiv from Tania Vitvitsky’s presentation.

Tania explained that her mission was to provide support to various humanitarian relief organizations that offer much-needed aid. This included psychological services, shelter, and essentials. Her travels over the past two years have taken her to women’s shelters in Ivano-Frankivsk, Bucha, and Khotyn, all of which receive assistance through the UCP, supportive organizations, and government entities. The Ukrainian NGOs involved in the UCP’s un - dertakings are now generally sustained by the Japanese government, various European governments, and private or religious institutions. Tania explained that U.S. government relief has mostly vanished with the dissolution of programs such as USAID (US Agency for Interna- tional Development) in the State Department. Throughout her presentation, Tania commended the strength and courage of the Ukrainian people. The captivated audience asked many questions after the presentation.
