MYRADOON
Our residents continue their classes of sewing, computer, English, manicure/pedicure, hairstyling, and cooking.
Six of our residents found work, and earning money. They are going to be transferred to the “Post Shelter” program which provides a temporary home to the women who are ready to live outside the shelter, but still need our oversight to become stronger and more self-sufficient. |
We continue our charity work distributing different kinds of items to the needy families. We visit different maternity hospitals and distribute newborn clothing and pampers.
We continue to help Syrian refugees who come to our center. Almost every day we give kitchenware, blankets and clothing to them.
We surprised one of the Syrian immigrant families giving them a bed, mattress and bed cover. When our founder Seta Ghazarian knew that one of Syrian Armenians didn’t have a bed, and they slept on the floor, she asked the staff to go to her house in the village and give the second bedroom furniture to them.
We gave medical items to Ejmiatsin medical center. The condition of the hospital is so poor, we always keep them in the center of our attention. We donate them the medical items we have. They come with emergency car and take all the assistance.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO DO THIS WORK. PLEASE SHARE YOUR BLESSINGS WITH THE UNFORTUNATE….
We are an open Shelter, Please come and visit our facility.
