XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 50 Memorandum of Understanding with ENGin and Ukraine Global Scholars In 2024, on my initiative, the UNWLA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with two exceptional organizations based in the United States: Ukraine Global Scholars Foundation (UGS), and ENGin. UGS identifies bright Ukrainian high school students (8-11 grades) from modest backgrounds in all corners of Ukraine and helps them gain admission into, and receive full financial support from, some of the world’s top boarding schools and colleges in return for their commitment to return and rebuild Ukraine. UGS is raising a new generation of Ukrainian leaders capable of accelerating the development of post-war Ukraine. UNWLA supports the UGS Summer Internship Program aimed at facilitating internships for UGS students and the UGS Host Family Program by sharing information on UGS students looking for host families during school breaks. During the summer of 2022, 2023 and 2024, National Executive Committee along with all chairs of UNWLA Standing Committees worked with five UGS interns who were instrumental in producing quality work products for the UNWLA (for example, in 2023, the “Decolonization of Ukrainian Culture” was one such project). In the summers of 2023 and 2024, funding for the UGS interns was generously supported by the Ukrainian Community Foundation of Philadelphia. Launched in 2020 by UNWLA member, Katerina Manoff, ENGin is a grassroots nonprofit changing the world one conversation at a time. In just four years, ENGin has connected more than 44,000 volunteers with students for online speaking practice and cross-cultural exchange. Among other things, ENGin is designated UNWLA’s official Volunteer Engagement Partner and UNWLA will share volunteer opportunities for our members with ENGin. Presentations Chairs of UNWLA Standing Committees organize presentations that are offered to all members. Here are a few that I organized through personal contacts with the individuals: ● “War in Ukraine: The Devastating Impact on Women and Children” on July 28, 2022. Presented by Halyna Skipalska, MA, the Country Director for HealthRight International and the Executive Director of the Ukrainian Foundation for Public Health, this was an early look at the already tragic effect of the war on Ukraine’s most vulnerable. ● On June 1, 2022, Lisa Prytula, RN shared her experience volunteering with Ukrainian refugees in Poland. She described ongoing efforts to improve health and quality of life for vulnerable Ukrainian refugees and provide recommendations for ongoing medical support. ● On November 21, 2022, the UNWLA welcomed Dr. Emily Channel-Justice, the Director of the Temerty Contemporary Ukraine Program at the Ukrainian Research Institute, Harvard University, and Dr. Kristina Hook, Assistant Professor of Conflict Management at Kennesaw State University’s School of Conflict Management, Peacebuilding, and Development. Both anthropologists and experts in Ukraine, they discussed Dr. Hooks’s research of the 1932-1933 Holodomor and how this genocide fits in the context of the current russian aggression against Ukraine. External Representation Roundtable for U.S. Department of State on status of Ukrainian women during the war on Ukraine While many aid agencies currently work in Ukraine, the need for aid, nonetheless, remains immense. Therefore, the outreach from the office of Acting Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for Global Affairs Elizabeth Kennedy Trudeau to the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America to convene a discussion on global help for, and the current needs of, Ukraine’s women was welcomed by UNWLA. Held on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, at the Ukrainian Institute of America (UIA) in Manhattan, the roundtable was hosted by the UNWLA and the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations (WFUWO) represented by WFUWO First Vice President Marianna Zajac. Among those invited to brief the Assistant Secretary were Kateryna Levchenko, Commissioner of Gender Equality Policy of Ukraine and Natalia Karbowska, then head of the Ukrainian Women’s Fund.
