88 ХХ Х І I Конвенція СУА of stress and uncertainty. Without a doubt, c hildren have been affected deeply by the brutality of war, by unsettling displacements, by loss and fear. These few weeks of reprieve and support offer the children peaceful respite and a period of happiness without worry. Pope Francis Spiritual and Social Center The creation of a UGCC mission in Severodonetsk , the current administrative center of the Luhansk region , (the original capital city of this region currently is occupied by separatists supported by Russian forces ), is another initiative encouraged by Patriarch Sviatoslav , who stated , “Let us forge to the E ast! T he future of Ukraine lays where the war is ongoing and the people suffering.” UNWLA contributed $25,000 for the rehabilitation of a building to serve as a chapel and the Pope Francis Spiritual Social Center , a community center that is a home for the Ukrainian spirit in Severodonetsk. This center offers a welcoming space for the newly established chapter of the youth organization Plast, and in general, is a space where youth can gather safely, a public home where the spirit of be ing Ukrainian c an be shared comfortably . Rev Yuri Yurchyk, the first center chaplain, and the dynamic individual who initiated this program noted , “ By having such a beautiful location, we are certain Ukraine will be here in Luhansk oblast . ... Only with th is kind of spiritual and social center will there be opportunities to grow the Ukrainian spirit and culture. The community is expanding. Luhanshchyna is Ukraine!” All these programs, besides being essential programs that aid vulnerable Ukrainians today, through the people helped by these programs, UNWLA is leaving a worthy legacy in Ukraine. Partnerships with Organizations in the United States The Ukrainian Museum: “A Modest Investment Yields a Rich Harvest” Lubow K. Wolynetz, curator of T he Ukrainian Museum 2007 exhibit Thread to the Past is the author of the above comment . This comment refers to the initial 600 folk art ob jects purchased from Lviv by UNWLA for display at the 1933 Chicago W orld’s Fair Ukrainian Pavilion. These objects then be came the foundation of T he Ukrainian Museum’s first exhibit in New York City. UNWLA continues to support the Museum through annual dues from our branches ($100 per branch) , as well a s by donations to specific exhibits . Since 1976, the strong support fro m dedicated UNWLA members has been invaluable to this wonderful institution – UNWLA members have volunteered countless hours , have donated valuable artwork to the Museum from personal collections , provided handcraft items for the Museum gift shop, and have made very generous financial contributions to sustain Museum operations . We thank our members for their continued, generous support . As 1st Vice President of The Ukrainian Museum, I have attended monthly Executive Committee meetings , as well as quarterly meetings of the Board of Trustees . I also serve as a member of three very active Museum committees: Personnel, Strategic Planning , and Acquisition s . Doctors Collaborating to Help Children This year marks the tenth anniversary of our partnership with Dr. Gennadiy Fuzaylov of Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston - Shriners’ Hospital, Harvard University, and the not - for - profit organization Doctors Collab orating to Help Children (DCHC) . This un ique project has profoundly affected the lives of children in Ukraine, saving hundreds from a painful life of permanent disfigurement. UNWLA supports and will continue to support the annual missions of Dr. Fuzaylov and his team to Ukraine to treat pediatri c burn patients, to choose those children who could most benefit from treatment at Shriner’s Hospital, and to share the latest surgical techniques with the doctors in Ukraine. Currently, there is no similar program in Ukraine and this unique effort is high ly valued. After being approved, treatment is provided free of charge to families who bring their children to these pediatric burn clinics from throughout Ukraine. During the week of September 15 - 21 2018 , such a clinic was held in Lviv. M ore than 120 chi ldren were examined , 64 surgeries performed, most of which were laser treatments. Prior to the mission, the team undertakes a lengthy preparation that includes
