LvBS Community’s 7th anniversary
On February 13, students, graduates, faculty and friends of Lviv Business School of the Ukrainian Catholic University met on the occasion of the 7th anniversary of LvBS Community and worked together for the benefit of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO).
The school set up volunteer workrooms, and all the guests contributed through their labor. Together we managed to produce 150 face masks, 100 guardian angel amulets, 10 kg of energy bars and 12 m of camouflage net. All these items will be transferred to soldiers in the ATO area.
While addressing LvBS Community, His Grace Bishop Borys (Gudziak), Eparch of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Eparchy in Paris, pointed out, “Just 15 months ago, we were almost invisible to the world: what is Ukraine, where is it, what is its history? A lot has changed since then. Today we might not be fully happy about the world’s response to the developments in Ukraine. However considerable changes have occurred indeed: many people all over the globe have finally seen us because the Maidan you all took to was mirrored in maidans across the world.”
According to the President of the Ukrainian Catholic University, the notions ‘Ukraine’ and ‘Ukrainians’ have entered the global consciousness. “We have emerged on the map. Today, whether consciously or subconsciously, the Europeans ask themselves why the Ukrainians are giving their lives for this flag,” he said.
Sophia Opatska, Dean of Lviv Business School, said, “We have really experienced the spirit of LvBS Community in recent year when we have been able to rely on one another in any situation. I do believe that the recent year that we have survived together has made us stronger than ever, and we will be ready to transform this country. Let’s help and support each other, let’s stand by each other because together we can do so much more.”
