Nataliya Edelman’s return to her home city in Ukraine was traumatic.
When she visited in the fall, much of her native Bucha, Ukraine, a city 10 miles from Kyiv, lay in ruins after nearly two years of war.
In some parts charred, deserted buildings stood amid scattered refuse. Explosions had flipped cars, turning them into crumpled scrap heaps on the street.
Streets she had walked as a child were obliterated, with all the houses, buildings and trees gone — even the rubble had been cleaned up — leaving nothing but a haunting memory of what once was.
Even more devastating were the lives lost. Many people she knew had died at the hands of Russian invaders, and not just in battle…

Dear Friends,
We are preparing a celebration for Ukraine‘s Independence Day (the celebration will take place on August 27th). We are in real need of some extra hands/volunteers to help us with organizing everything.
If you or your children would like to take part in the concert, we have a fantastic choreographer Deneen who will help you with a dance number. If would like to prepare a song – we have our wonderfully talented piano accompanist Tatiana, who will help you with your solo.
We also could use some help in decorating the hall we’ll be celebrating at (that will most likely require showing up an hour earlier and assisting with set-up) or preparing some Ukrainian food.
Of you could bring some extra food, that would be great, too.
There will be games and prizes.
August 10th , at 9:00 pm we’ll have an organizational Zoom meeting. Please, let me knowing you’d like to join!
