Kateryna Yushchenko, Head of the Supervisory Council of the Ukraine 3000 Foundation, visited a charitable concert of premieres, Music of All Continents held at the National Opera House. The event was organized by the UNO office in Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry, the Culture Ministry and the Ukraine 3000 Foundation. All funds raised at the concert will be used to treat the children at the Kyiv Cancer Hematology Center.
Every year, about four hundred kids in Ukraine are diagnosed with cancer. The center can help 120 patients from all over the country. However, such kind of treatment and surgeries to transplant marrow is very costly. The center is not capable of treating all patients because it does not have enough equipment and thus needs philanthropic help.
Francis O’Donnell, UN Resident Coordinator in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Borys Tarasuk, their wives and other honorary guests attended the concert featuring the national opera orchestra conducted by German Makarenko, soloists Volodymir Grishko and Victoria Lukyanets and pianist Antony Baryshevsky.
