In response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Kenilworth Union’s Adult Education committee is offering an event on Monday, March 14 at 7 p.m.: “Understanding the Crisis in Ukraine.” Join us in the Culbertson Room or livestream to hear from three speakers:
Kenilworth Union member Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins will share a brief history of Ukraine. A history teacher who studied in Ukraine in college, Jennifer has a vast knowledge of Russia and Ukraine

Kateryna Biloshapka, a friend of Jennifer’s, is a Ukrainian student who came here to live in the Chicago area years ago. Kateryna, grateful for the opportunity to speak Monday evening said, “My mother and grandmother are trapped in Nikolaev, Ukraine unable to leave as they are surrounded by Russian troops. My mother wants people to know the horrible things happening in my country.”

Church member Hilary Scott, board chair for the UNICEF USA Midwest Region, will present UNICEF’s response to the humanitarian crisis.
