Those who wish to take part in the Chornobyl Charity Bazaar, please send your donations to the Permanent Mission of Ukraine (220 East 51St Street, New York, NY, 10022). If you send a check, please indicate that the payment is made to the Permanent Mission of Ukraine for the Chornobyl Bazaar.

Please notify the Permanent Mission of Ukraine (tel. (212)759-7003 (ext. 100, 117)) about your intention to attend our joint event by April 22, so that appropriate arrangements for receiving a pass to the UN building could be made in a timely manner.
