    AND NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATIONS AT THE BIRD'S NEST ORPHANAGE

    On Friday, 25 December 2009, His Holiness Aram I joined the students,
    personnel and sisters at the Bird's Nest Orphanage in their celebration of
    the New Year and Christmas.

    His Holiness met with the children who welcomed him with their songs, dances
    and recital of poems. He talked to them and shared gifts. Later, His
    Holiness Aram I met with the personnel of the Institution and the sisters of
    the Order of St.Gayane and discussed how to improve the quality of life of
    the children, who were either orphaned or children from broken homes.

    The following day, the director of information of the Catholicosate, the
    Very Rev Krikor Chiftjian, met representatives of Armenian Social
    organizations and individuals who had financially contributed to the upkeep
    of Institution. He thanked them on the children's behalf and urged them to
    continue their support and make the Nest their home.
