UCC
Launches Holodomor Awareness Fundraising Campaign
Beginning with a remarkable 75th anniversary
commemorative year in 2008, the achievements of the Ukrainian community in
raising awareness and gaining recognition of this genocide continue to
resonate. A successful tour of the International Remembrance Flame,
recognition of the Holodomor as genocide by the federal government and five
provincial legislatures, and the most recent tribute by Prime Minister Harper
at the Holodomor memorial in Kyiv are only a few highlights of a successful
campaign.
The accomplishments to date are also a direct
result of the community’s generous financial support. Our work, however,
is far from complete. We have many more Canadians to reach with the
message that the Holodomor was genocide of the Ukrainian people and it must
serve as a reminder to future generations in the prevention of similar crimes
against humanity.
Your contribution to the UCC Holodomor Awareness
Fund will support:
- Completion
of the documentation of Holodomor survivor testimonies and further development
of the website Sharing the Story;
- Development
of teaching materials on the Holodomor and training for educators in our
public, catholic and private schools throughout the country;
- Publication
and distribution of general information about the Holodomor in the English,
French and Ukrainian languages for all interested Canadians;
- Annual
promotion of National Holodomor Awareness Week in November.
All donations should be made payable to the UCC
Charitable and Educational Trust with the designation of Holodomor Awareness
Fund. Please send your cheques to the Ukrainian Canadian Congress,
Let’s help reveal the truth about the Holodomor!
