One Health, One World 2013 OSU Students from the Corvallis Division of International Veterinary Student’s Association held a fundraiser for the One Health One World cause, which was dedicated this year to benefit Ukraine. A 5K Fun Run/Walk and a “K9- 9K” were held on Sunday, October 14th on the OSU campus. Half the money raised benefited human health and half went to animal well-being. CUSCA Board members Alice Rampton and Peggy Giles spoke about Uzhhorod at one of the fundraising events. With a population of over 111,000 people, Uzhhorod has no animal shelter, poor animal control and periodically resorts to mass poisoning or bludgeoning of dogs. There is also currently a multi-drug resistant tuberculosis epidemic in Uzhhorod and a lack of sufficient TB medications and hospital care. Hopefully, the money raised by this fund-raiser will help alleviate some of these issues. Mayor’s Delegation from Uzhhorod The newly re-elected mayor of Uzhhorod brought a delegation to Corvallis last June. The delegation included mayor Viktor Pohorelov, his spouse (Lyubov Pohorelova), a city councilor (Anatoliy Synyshyn), and the interpreter, Kateryna Bizilya. The delegation visited with Corvallis Mayor Julie Manning and CARDV and attended a reception at the Corvallis Art’s Center. They were also hosted at a dinner party by C-USCA board member Bev Smith. News from Uzhhorod Our own Maya Tarasova, who is the Director of the Window on America Center at the Transcarpathian Regional Scientific Library and works with a lot of our children in Uzhhorod, sent in some current news on the children that we care so much about. She was recently here on a visit and upon returning was asked to share her perspective of America and Corvallis and her comments were featured in an article on the 16th of February. She also set up an interview for Alice Rampton and Sabra Killen to talk about the TOUCH project.

  • UKRAINE the Constitution and Other Laws and Policies Protect Religious
    UKRAINE The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these protections. The government generally respected religious freedom in law and in practice. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Local officials at times took sides in disputes between religious organizations, and property restitution problems remained; however, the government continued to facilitate the return of some communal properties. There were reports of societal abuses and discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. These included cases of anti-Semitism and anti- Muslim discrimination as well as discrimination against different Christian denominations in different parts of the country and vandalism of religious property. Various religious organizations continued their work to draw the government's attention to their issues, resolve differences between various denominations, and discuss relevant legislation. The U.S. government discusses religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. embassy representatives raised these concerns with government officials and promoted ethnic and religious tolerance through public outreach events. Section I. Religious Demography The country has an area of 233,000 square miles and a population of 45.4 million. The government estimates that there are 33,000 religious organizations representing 55 denominations in the country. According to official government sources, Orthodox Christian organizations make up 52 percent of the country's religious groups. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (abbreviated as UOC-MP) is the largest group, with significant presence in all regions of the country except for the Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Ternopil oblasts (regions).
