XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 111 Rev. Yuriy Ostapyuk heads the Student Chaplaincy program. Students from universities and technical schools are invited to participate in the program where they are taught skills in working with close to 300 children of diverse abilities. As the students learn skills, they are able to reflect on their own needs and coping mechanisms. The student chaplains serve as camp counselors in the summer. Rev. Roman Prokopecj is the director of Tsentr Opiky Sirit, a center caring for orphanages. Summer camp and Winter ‘school’ sessions have created opportunities for up to 600 children to experience a safe day camp environment with frequent excursions to parks, the zoo, museums, etc. Since the escalation of war, orphans have been transferred to Poland and the center is now a shelter for internally displaced families, mostly mothers and their children. The Pediatric Burn Mission led by Dr. Gennadiy Fuzaylov is supported in part by UNWLA. Medical professionals from many countries gathered in Ukraine, providing surgeries, wound care, and rehabilitation to Ukrainian children affected by severe burn injuries. The mission also supported psychological counseling, recognizing the emotional impact of burn injuries on children, their families, and communities. In 2023, the mission transferred 19 Ukrainian children to Leczna, Poland where 69 surgical procedures were performed by the team. This project has been helping children for 13 years. Babusi Fund is a long-term project established by UNWLA to provide moral support to elderly women who have no family. These women are members of the “All Ukrainian Society of Political Prisoners and Repressed People” who live throughout many oblasts. At Christmas or Easter, UNWLA provides a personal greeting and small financial gift. Up to 500 women have been helped within a year . Caritas Ukraine was established in Ukraine by local Catholic communities in 1992, soon after Ukraine’s independence. Aid to poor families consisted of food and hygiene kits, cash grants, resolving housing needs, as well as counseling for personal emotional needs and general social support for the vulnerable. UNWLA has partnered with Caritas Ukraine since October 2022 and has provided funds for 200 wood stoves and sleep sets for 700 needy individuals. Kakhovka Dam Disaster Relief was brought to families in Ukraine after thousands were left homeless and at least 62 lives were lost. UNWLA delivered packages to survivors containing first aid kits, hygiene products, water filters and purifying tablets, bedding, stoves, and other necessary supplies. Someone Prays for You was organized by Ukrainian-Canadian artist Taras Polatajko and began as a collective photo series showcasing works of art by elderly Ukrainian artists from Chernivtsi. The project is now a fundraiser for soldiers in special operations units. UNWLA contributed to their efforts by funding 16 pairs of high quality boots, warm clothing and non-military goods for repairs of equipment. Camp children at the zoo Care at Mechnikov Hospital
