Unitarian Service Committee of Canada : The Unitarian Service Committee of Canada (U.S.C.), an international relief organization, was founded in 1945 by Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova to help Europe's child victims at the end of W.W.II. The U.S.C. is a non-denominational, non-political and non-racial voluntary relief and development agency which raises funds and supplies for the needy around the world.

Since 1945 the U.S.C. has provided care to thousands of children in U.S.C. sponsored homes in such countries as Austria, Bangladesh, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Lesotho, Nepal and Switzerland. U.S.C. scholarship programmes have been offered to the most promising among the most indigent students in Botswana, India, Korea, Lesotho, the Middle East and Swaziland. U.S.C. vocational training projects have been launched in Botswana, Greece, India, Indonesia, Korea, Lesotho, Swaziland and Vietnam. Family planning programmes have been sponsored by the U.S.C. in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea and Lesotho.

Dr. Hitschmanova, born in Prague Czechoslovakia, studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and graduated from the University of Prague where she received a doctorate in Philosophy. She holds a diploma in Journalism and took post-graduate studies in political science. She has accepted many international honours on behalf of the countless Canadians who make the work of the U.S.C. possible through their contributions of money and time. In December 1979, she was appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada.
