Mother Emilia Prokopyk, a long-time teacher in the Academy of St. Basil the Great in Philadelphia, and a principal in the St. George School in New York City. The sisters plan to continue their activities on behalf of educa tion in Ukraine. In 1995, in conjunction with a visit to the Basilian sisters in New York, the UNWLA established dialogue in terms of providing aid to orphans in Ukraine. The UNWLA donated $1,500 to the orphans and $200 to the sisters for their needs. While in Ukraine, Olha Trytyak delivered $1,000 from the UNWLA to orphans and needy children. Upon returning from Ukraine, members of the Social Welfare Committee organized a slide presentation of their travels for the National Board and the slides were subse quently sent to the Detroit and Chicago Regional Councils, where they were also viewed by branches. The Social Welfare Committee maintains a continued schedule of reviewing medical aid requests from Ukraine. The president of UNWLA proposed the purchase of medical equipment for the “Dzherelo” children’s sa natorium in Truskavytsi, which provides medical aid to over six thousand children from various regions of Ukraine. The insti tution is under the patronage of “Soyuz Ukrainok” which covers the cost of medical treatment for five children every month. UNWLA purchased a fibrospector for $15,685 from the Olympus Co. and delivered it to the sanitorium. Recently, the Social Welfare Committee is in the process of negotiating to purchase an ultrasound medical unit to analyze internal organs. This equipment is in dispensable in diagnostic procedures on children, especially on those from the Chor- nobyl zone. Aid to Ukraine: This particular aspect of work of the Social Welfare Committee esca lated to a large degree in the last few years, demanding a great deal of attention and effort. Iryna Russnak took charge of these activities. With the help of “Soyuz Ukrainok”, she was able to identify elderly women “grand mothers” in Ukraine, whom our organizations help financially and morally. She delivered $1,370 to Ukraine for this program, as well as $200 for ill children and orphans. I. Russnak also maintains all correspondence in this field of endeavor and takes care of all related business. An important activity is the aid provided to “grandmothers” in Brazil, Poland and Germany. Each year there are 21-23 such individuals who receive financial support from UNWLA branches and members of the com munity. This term $6,889 was spent on support of this activity, which is supervised with great dedication by Olha Hnatyk. In reviewing annual reports, it has be come evident that the funding to Brazil, Poland and other places has somewhat de creased, due to the escalated support pro vided to Ukraine. Within a two-year period 335 packages of food and clothing were sent to Ukraine at a cost of $24,862.65; to Brazil — 121 packages with clothing and books, costing $9,549.10; to Poland — 49 packages of clothing, costing $3,890.25; to Yugoslavia — packages at the cost of $1,175. Orphans in Brazil received $1,416.29; priests in Argen tina — $370. Through the branches, $2,732 was provided for various general welfare needs, while again, through the branches, “Soyuz Ukrainok”, orphans, the elderly, churches, and the handicapped received $9,856. Recently people have been sending funds to the UNWLA/Social Welfare Committee to highlight or commemorate various private or public events or activities. Funds are donated in lieu of gifts to newlyweds at their request, to mark a 50th wedding anniversary, from children in American schools, death com memorations, bequests in wills, revenues from festivals and other public events. We sincerely thank all members of UNWLA and the generous individuals in our communities for their fi nancial support and ensorsement of our work. During this reporting term the financial do nations exceeded $410,000. At this time I would like to take the opportunity to commend Anna Rak, who very accurately and conscientiously handles all the financial matters of our Committee. The Social Welfare Committee of the UNWLA is continually searching for new ways in which to bring aid and support, especially to ill children and orphans, and to do this in a responsible and commendable way. In reviewing the individual reports of Regional Coucils and branches, it becomes evident how often our Committee’s circulars go unnoticed by the members of our orga nization, particularly where we ask that all welfare efforts be coordinated through our 121 www.unwla.org
