Chornobyl Charity Bazaar slated at United Nations for April 26

UNITED NATIONS - On April 26, the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations is organizing at the United Nations headquarters the annual Chornobyl Charity Bazaar to commemorate the 19th anniversary of the Chornobyl tragedy, the gravest technological catastrophe of the 20th century.

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

Participation of the Ukrainian community in this event has already become a tradition. Anyone can make an individual contribution to the charity event in the form of various books, crafts, arts, gift items, food, beverages and other items which will be exhibited for sale during the bazaar, as well as donation checks for any amount.

Those who wish to take part in the Chornobyl Charity Bazaar are asked to send donations to the Permanent Mission of Ukraine, 220 E. 51st St., New York, NY, 10022. Checks should be payable to the Permanent Mission of Ukraine with the notation "Chornobyl Bazaar." Donors are invited to provide brief information about themselves, so that the list of benefactors is properly presented to all guests and participants of this event in the United Nations. Those wishing to attend are asked to notify the Permanent Mission of Ukraine, (212) 759-7003 (ext. 100, 118) so that appropriate arrangements for receiving a pass to the U.N. building could be made in a timely manner.
