UNA donation funds attendance for children displaced by war
KERHONKSON, N.Y. – Held this past summer at the Soyuzivka Heritage Center in Kerhonkson, N.Y., two sessions of the Roma Pryma Bohachevsky Ukrainian Dance Camp hosted more than 100 participants, and among them were refugees from war-ravaged Ukraine who were able to take part in the camp thanks in part to a donation from the Ukrainian National Association that paid for their room and board.
The two Ukrainian Dance Camps for children aged 8-16 (first session: July 23-August 5; and second session August 6-19) were run by camp director Ania Bohachevsky Lonkevych. Among this year’s participants were the following children from Ukraine: Bohdan Shvaiuk, 17, of Ivano Frankivsk; Mariia Lebedieva, 14, of Kyiv; Sofiya Vorobkevych, 13, of Lviv; and Vitalina Kostyk, 13, of Ternopil.
