MYRADOON
Going with traces of our mission, we released one more child from the orphanage and joined him with his mother. Anna originally had been in our shelter. Had her first born and left after few months. She came to our shelter again in November, 2017 with her second child straight from the hospital. A new baby boy. She left her older son Daniel in an orphanage because of her extremely bad financial situation. She was sad and depressed all the time as she was longing for her first child whom she hadn’t seen for 8 months. We turned to Armavir municipality to help us to bring the child to our center. They prepared all the necessary documentations.
We are grateful to Astine Apitonyan for giving a quick respond to our issue and provide us with all the
