Chornobyl's 20th anniversary: an appeal to all who care

On April 26, the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations is organizing at the United Nations Headquarters, the Chornobyl Charity Bazaar to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Chornobyl tragedy, the largest in scope and the gravest in consequences technological catastrophe of the 20th century.

The purpose of this endeavor is not only to mobilize additional funds to support medical institutions in Ukraine which provide treatment for children from the Chornobyl zone, but also to renew international attention to the problems of Chornobyl.

Participation of the Ukrainian community in this important event has already become a good tradition. We are very grateful to all our friends for their fruitful cooperation demonstrated in the past, and we hope that it will continue this year. Each of you can make individual contributions to the charity event in the form of various books, crafts, arts, gift items, food, beverages and other items which will be for sale during the bazaar, as well as donation checks for any amount.

Those who wish to take part in the Chornobyl Charity Bazaar may send donations to: Permanent Mission of Ukraine, 220 E. 51st St., New York, NY, 10022. (If you send a check, please make it payable to the Permanent Mission of Ukraine and note that it is for the Chornobyl Bazaar.)

We would also invite donors to provide brief information about themselves, so that the list of benefactors is properly presented to all guests and participants of this event at the United Nations.

Please notify the Permanent Mission of Ukraine, 212-759-7003, ext. 100, about your intention to attend our joint event by April 21, so that appropriate arrangements for receiving a pass to the U.N. building can be made in a timely manner.
