ХХ Х II Конвенція СУА 93 Memorialization of the Victims of the 1932 - 33 Famine - Genocide – the Holodomor For UNWLA, the history of disseminating information about the Holodomor began in the early 1930s, when UNWLA was still a very young organization . Our efforts have continued to the present. In November 2019, UNWLA was invited to support the digitalization of the Gareth Jo nes diaries, notebooks , and photographs in partnership with the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation (UCCLF). Professor Lubomyr Luciuk, a Canadian scholar, extended the invitation to UNWLA. Gareth Jones was the Welsh journalist who traveled into S oviet Ukraine and, unlike other journalists who worked then in the USSR, he wrote openly under his own byline about the atrocities of Stalin’s forced famine in Ukraine, the Holodomor . Approximately, 20 years ago, Jones’ original diaries and notes were fou nd in a family archive in Wales. Subsequently, excerpts were published by his niece and grandnephew. However, the full set of the diaries are not readily available. After examining the details of the digitization project proposal , the UNWLA Executive Comm ittee unanimously approved to accept the invitation to work on the project. A Memorandum of Understanding between The National Library of Wales that houses the archives, UCCLF , and UNWLA was signed on December 20, 2019. UNWLA i s the largest sponsor of this ambitious project and contributed $20,463 of the budget total of $26,463. The total grant will cover the preparation, digitization, and sharing of the collection. UNWLA is det ermined to continue to be an important contributor to the memorialization of the ugly truth about the Holodomor. Support for Professional Training in Ukraine The mission of Dzherelo Children’s Rehabilitation Centre in Lviv is to “create opportunities for a better future for children and youth with special needs and their families.” In January 2019, UNWLA presented the Centre with $10,000 earmarked for professional in - service training for Dzherelo teachers. So that this educational event would have as a br oad an impact as possible, UNWLA requested that special needs teachers from the region , including those outside of Dzherelo , be invited to participate . Education is the most effective path to make an impact in any field , and UNWLA continues our commitment to endorse and support education al projects . UNWLA: Our Membership, Our Strength This motto from our 2017 convention - Our Membership, Our Strength - is only four words long, yet these four words reflect the essence of our org anization. The existence of UN WLA has spanned almost a century of tremendous change. Currently we face the reality of an aging membership and the reality that certain branches are n ot able to continue their work. At the same time, we are immeasurably grateful for these members’ dedicat ion and commitment to UNWLA , and are honored to have worked beside these members and with these branches for many years . W e also have welcomed new branches in Ohio, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan , and New Jersey that include members born in America, as well women who have emigrated from Ukraine. Besides establishing new branches, r ecent immigrants have joined existing branches, as well. Linguistic and cultural differences between members from diff erent waves of immigrations and these differences can present challenges; however, these newest UNWLA members are prompting us, with their new ideas and proposals, to think “out side of the box ” regarding our projects and events. At the same time, our older members have been given the opp ortunity to guide and teach our newest members about our organization, our rich history, the broad scope of possibilities offered by our organizations. Membership is the backbone of every organization and, as can be read on the pages of Our Life throughout the decades, membership has been both the focus and often the concern of every president. Although total membership during this administration has remained approximately the same, the composition is changing. We find ourse lves at a crossroads in the future development of our organization and this will continue to require a concentrated focus, sometimes compromise, to work together for the common good.
