Diplomats No Strangers to Charity

22 December, 00:00
A Christmas charity concert was held in Ukraine's National Opera House on December 14. It was organized by the International Diplomatic Club, Ukrainian Association of Euro-Atlantic Cooperation, Ukrainian Committee for the 1999 Hague Peace Appeal, and Continent Radio Station. The event was carried out in advance to gather voluntary donations and gifts for Transcarpathian children the holidays begin. Many diplomats are also going home on Christmas vacation. The event was attended by businessmen, clerics, embassy employees, and People's Deputies. Only top level state and Kyiv City Administration officials failed to be present at the event, claiming to have other important business. Oleksandr Omelchenko did not even send his representative to accept the invitation to visit Orlando, Florida. Such a lack of attention pained its good will messenger Dr. Jim Ponder greatly. The concert's program consisted mainly of time-tested music: folk songs, Christmas carols, Bach, Handel, and Schubert musical compositions performed by the Kyiv symphony orchestra, Valentyna Stepova and jazz improvisations by Men Sound, Jazz-Expromt and Taras Petrynenko's hits "God Save Ukraine" and "Ukraine."
