As the summer winds down, thoughts turn towards a new school year. For many students in Canada, this means a new fresh start at a University of their choice. It is the first step for them to become what they have dreamed of: a doctor, a teacher, a journalist, or maybe a future leader. Going to university in Canada is so common that we take that amazing opportunity for granted.
In Ukraine right now, there are many young people who have the talent and intelligence to do something great- to contribute to the future of Ukraine, yet there is no opportunity for them to do so. This problem is the driving force behind our group's mission. The Montreal Friends of UCU would like to see every young person in Ukraine to be given the opportunity to fulfill their potential. Education is the key to a stronger, independent and democratic country. But we can not do this alone. We need caring people like you to help us with the harvest of young people.
We hope that you will join us for our upcoming events this fall. On September 10th and 11th, we will be participating once again in Montreal's Ukrainian Festival held at Parc de l'Ukraine. We hope that you will stop by our booth to say hello, gather some information and enjoy some sweets with us. We will also be selling tickets to our annual fundraising event "The Harvest is Plenty". This year we will host an evening of laughter and suspense! Guests will dine on great food and participate in an interactive detective mystery with the "Ottawa Ukrainian Mystery Playhouse." It will be held on Saturday November 26th at Loyola High School.
The harvest is indeed plenty. Come see what it is all about and how you can help!
