For those who want to help carry forward Svitlana's visions, there are two donation opportunities:
Svitlana very personally reached into the hearts of her students to help them find and expose their truth, and then challenged them professionally to pursue their dreams. In their honor, alumni of the University of Oregon Law School have created the John Bonine-Svitlana Kravchenko Environmental Protection Scholarship Fund, to provide some support to law students who have solid commitment to environmental protection. Donations to this fund are welcome through the University of Oregon Foundation.
Svitlana believed that everyone should have a voice in the decisions that affect our earth, and our futures. Svitlana’s family and friends are creating an award in Svitlana's honor: The Svitlana Kravchenko International Award for Human Rights and the Environment. The jury for the award will be comprised of academic professionals and civil society advocates around the world. The award will recognize exceptional people in two specific areas of work:
First, scholars who display creative and courageous characteristics in writing, teaching, and example in environmental law, and who create close connections with students outside the classroom. Svitlana always did these things in her academic life.
Second, brave, public interest lawyers and citizen activists who are devoting their professional lives to making a positive impact on human rights and the environment, including especially the promotion of access to information, public participation, and access to justice in environmental matters. Svitlana devoted much of her life to this kind of work.
Donations that will go to recipients of this second award can be made in care of an account at the Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide (ELAW): (https://donationpay.org/elaw/
Svitlana was an exemplary woman - and she led with clarity, tenacity, strength, humility, and a radiant personal presence. She left a large imprint on our world and on all of us personally. The world is a better place because she was in it. In place of her physical presence now, we’ll need to look into our hearts to find her guidance as we calibrate our moral compasses and make choices every day. Svitlana's heart and soul now become integrated into all of us. It's our job to remember her with love, and to carry her spirit forward - in our personal lives, and in our professional lives. I believe that she would want us all to bring our continuing care to the family she left behind. And I believe that she would also expect us to move forward, together, committed to making every voice heard, and raising our voices together to protect our fragile home.
We'll let Svitlana's family leave first, and then have us all follow them quietly to a reception in the Morse Commons area outside
