UKRAINE The UNWLA Scholarship Program has considerably expanded its work in Ukraine. Our priority is to financially assist needy and or phaned children and students in Ukraine. Taking into consideration the economic crises in Ukraine, the Scholarship Committee at its March 1999 meeting made a decision to increase scholarships to Ukraine: $100.00 for grade school/high school and $200.00 a year for uni versity students. In August 1998, Orysia Jacus, Treas urer of the Scholarship Program and I visited Ukraine with the intention of strengthening and coordinating the contacts that we have there and to assess the need for our assistance in Ukraine. Our goal was also to meet with the people who recommend students for our schol arship program as well as to meet with those students who receive stipends from UNWLA. We visited the 150 year old Solomija Krushelnyckyj Music Institute in Lviv. Famous graduates of this school include Oleksander Slobodianyk, Oleh Krysa, Myroslav Skoryk and many others. We were greeted in a large con cert hall filled with many of our scholarship re cipients, parents, family members, and teachers. We listened as students gave us a brief descrip tion of their lives, their hopes for their future and for the future of Ukraine. We were very touched by their heartfelt thanks and the many flowers and gifts they showered us with. A wonderful concert with singing, banduras, a piano recital concluded our unforgettable visit with these tal ented future musicians of Ukraine. Upon the invitation of Zoriana Bilyk, President of Soyuz Ukrainok Branch in Lviv, we met with the mem bers of the Branch and with the Scholarship Committee of the Lviv Branch. We also met with Lesia Dudchenko, President of the Kharkiv Branch of Soyuz Ukrainok, who was visiting with her family outside of Lviv. Both meetings proved to be very productive as we were able to discuss with them all aspects of the UNWLA Scholarship Program including the future direction of the program. We had a marvelous opportunity to meet with Maria Hromiak, President of the Ter- nopil Branch of Soyuz Ukrainok who organized a remarkable meeting with scholarship recipients from the Ternopil region of Ukraine. We became acquainted with our scholarship recipients who told us about their lives, their dreams, and their hopes for the future. We met students studying Meeting with members of Soyuz Ukrainok in Lviv. h Left Kyiv.
