Invitation to the International Action of Planting a Kalyna Bush with the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Victoria, “Malvy“ Branch.
Kalyna is a symbol of Ukraine, representing the beauty and significance of our native homeland, uniting Ukrainians around the world for centuries.
The Malvy Branch of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Victoria, based in Melbourne, is celebrating its 10th anniversary, marking a new stage in the community’s life. Over this period, the Malvy Branch has demonstrated its dedication to traditions, culture, and cooperation within the Ukrainian community of Victoria.
On this significant occasion, the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Victoria invites all members of the community, friends, and those who seek to support and strengthen national heritage to join the International Action of Planting a Kalyna Bush. This symbolic event represents our unity and solidarity with all Ukrainians who seek to preserve and enhance our cultural wealth.
Join us to create unforgettable memories and give ourselves and future generations this enduring symbol of our culture and national identity, 15,000 kilometers away, on another continent, in Australia, Victoria state.
