Звіт референтки Суспільної Опіки Лідії Черник за каденцію 1996-1999 pp. не появився в англійській мові у Конвенційній Книжці XXV Конвенції СУА. Тому, що праця Суспільної Опіки віддзеркалює жертвенність нашого членства і громади, які підтри мують цілі СУА, друкуємо його на цих сторінках. LIDIA CZERNYK, SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAM CHAIRMAN UKRAINIAN NATIONAL WOMEN’S LEAGUE OF AMERICA, INC. THE UNWLA’S SOCIAL WELFARE PROGRAM - 1996-1999 Since the founding of the Ukrainian National Women’s League in 1925, the organization’s Social Welfare Program has always been an important part of its structure and activities. The Program continued to provided assistance to needy elderly individuals, particularly women, to mothers, to children, especially orphans, as well as to schools and orphanages. Members of the organization gave aid to political prisoners and their families by sending to them packages with food and clothing. When Ukrainians in South America, specifically in Brazil and Argentina needed help, the support action was coordinated through the UNWLA’s Social Welfare Program. UNWLA members gave generously to this program, designed to pay special attention to the needs of ill children and orphans. Through the Social Welfare Program, UNWLA members helped Ukrainian families in Poland, and provided aid to those in need in various other parts of the world. Following the disastrous nuclear catastrophe in Chornobyl in 1986, the priorities of the Social Welfare Program were redirected to meet the needs of people in Ukraine, especially the children. In the last few years the agenda of the Program was expanded, requiring an input of a great deal of time and effort on the part of those engaged in its maintenance. Because of the broad scope of interests and activities of the Program, a Social Welfare Committee was formed, which included the following members: Irene Russnak (Branch 47), Anna Rak (Branch 83), Katherine Wolowodiuk (Branch 86), Nadia Oransky (Branch 43), and from the Executive Branch of UNWLA, Anna Krawczuk, President of the Organization, Olha Hnatyk, Honorary Member of UNWLA, a member of the Committee, who for many years, was responsible for the segment of the Program dealing with elderly women “Grandmothers”, died on February 8,1997. She will be missed. During this current term the Branches have been very positive in their response to and cooperation with the Social Welfare Program. This conclusion is based on reports from Branches. It does not mean that all Branches act in identical ways in answering the various appeals and projects proposed by the Program, but there is a collective balance in their activities, which ultimately gives satisfactory results. Based on the reports of Regional Councils and Branches, UNWLA’s Social Welfare Program Chairman prepares annual accounts of activity to the Social Welfare Agency of the World Congress of Ukrainians in Canada. These reports show that with each passing year members of UNWLA provide greater support to Ukraine, and lesser to Ukrainians in other countries. Social Welfare in the United State As much as possible, UNWLA members try to help the needy, especially other members of the organization, as well as the elderly, by visiting them in hospitals and nursing homes. UNWLA members organize social welfare centers or join existing centers. In our local communities the social welfare aid concerns itself more with providing moral support, and in many instances, with providing information. We hope that more and more UNWLA members will try to develop a social welfare program in their communities, thus giving support to the elderly and particularly to members of our organization. Aid to Ukraine At the approval of the Executive Board of the UNWLA, the Social Welfare Program Chairman traveled to Ukraine in August 1996, and August 1998. The agenda for both trips called for visits to 114 XXVI Конвенція СУА www.unwla.org
