It’s been a difficult spring, and the reality of the genocide and massive refugee crisis continues.
There is so much need for aid in Ukraine, where people are fleeing bombardment and total destruction. There are many credible effective organizations you can donate to, and volunteer with- please see link below.
We must continue to work towards good in the world, and beyond emergency situations, we work towards sustaining our ongoing wellbeing, and strengthening our community bonds. We decided to run our summer camp program again, after a two year hiatus, because there was a strong collective desire to be together again, and to continue the learning & sharing that has brought us close to each other and our ancestral roots; we believe this matters for our survival.
Now more than ever it is crucial for us to continue bringing people together to learn Ukrainian cultural traditions, to preserve and keep alive valuable aspects of the culture, and to support collective healing and resilience. We will continue to offer a diversity of culturally rooted arts and skills workshops, and to promote cross cultural dialogue, and mutual understanding.
Thank you all for supporting and contributing to our community,
May you have a wonderful summer,
Bozena Hrycyna
Director of Programming,
Summer Camp Director
