Philippines and other countries are also Ukrainian American men and women. We salute them and support their dedication to serving and protecting the United States of America. Since the Independence of Ukraine in 1991, we have refocused much of our attention from political problems to long-reaching social issues. In the United States, we need to focus on the legacy we are building and what cultural inheritance we will leave to future generations of Ukrainian Americans. Among the most important testament of our undertaking is The Ukrainian Museum in New York City. It is here that the historical treasures of our ancestors will be exhibited with love and pride, and it is here that we can construct a monumental piece of Ukrainian American cultural heritage to serve as an integral part of the mosaic of the American nation. In the year 2002, the UNWLA Scholarship/Children - Student Sponsorship Program is celebrating its 35th year of continuous volunteer activity in the USA, South America, and Europe, where it has met with tremendous success. The program involves human achievement on a one-to-one basis - one student at a time. While it may not be as visible as monuments or buildings, we should all recognize that its impact is far greater and far more enduring. Let’s stop and contemplate this. With gratitude to the UNWLA membership and generous sponsors and benefactors, more than eight hundred (800) scholarship recipients in the USA, Braz'l, Argentina, Paraguay, Poland, Yugoslavia and Croatia, have become educated professionals. They are among the intellectual leadership in their respective counties and, as such, are influential in the diplomatic relationships of those countries with Ukraine. We also need to underline that the UNWLA Scholarship Program has been greatly expanded in Ukraine, and is currently playing a strong role in the democratization of Ukraine. All scholarship recipients have an opportunity to learn first-hand about the importance of civi ? non profit organizations such as the UNWLA. As each student graduates and achieves success, their respective sponsors are rewarded. The Ukrainian National Women’s League of America should be proud of its Scholarship Program and should continue to nurture it. The UNWLA Social Welfare program has always been very close to the hearts of our membership. In the 75 years of its continuous activity, it has proven that we are concerned and care for others. Most recently the flood victims of Zakarpats’ka oblast’ in Ukraine were on our priority list. Let’s keep the love for our neighbors close to our hearts and, within our means, continue to help those less fortunate. We can visualize that in a far away country a mother is not worried that her children will not go to sleep hungry, or that she will not be able to buy necessary medicine or warm clothing for them. Let us visualize the elderly woman who caresses a small gift from afar, smiling in happiness that she is re membered by someone. Their peace of mind and happiness is our reward for the hard work, volunteerism and caring. Public relations has always been and still is of great importance. Historically, we took every opportunity to fight on the International level for the enslaved women of the former Ukrainian SSR who were not able to speak for themselves. We did this through public relations - by writing and speaking and educating those who were not aware of their plight. Since the Independence of Ukraine in 1991, we are happy to see Ukrainian women reorganizing and forming women’s organizations, including the National Council of Women in Ukraine that reopened the door for them to the International Council of Women. We are very proud of them and wish them well. We should, however, recognize that we still have a role to play. Here in the United States of America, our voices can have an impact on the relationship between Ukraine and the USA and on the relationships among the representatives of the two countries. All the activities of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America are important. All require volunteerism, devotion, determination, patience and time. None of them is more important than another, for together they form the wholeness that is UNWLA. May God continue to bless our programs and activities and the new leadership of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America.
