GLENDALE-An unprecedented donation of 5,253 pairs of brand new Nike
shoes has just arrived in Armenia, as a result of the combined efforts
of the Armenian Relief Society of Western USA, United Armenian Fund,
and the Catholic Medical Mission Board.
A total of 40 palettes filled with 5,253 new Nike athletic shoes
(total market value of $217,579) arrived on May 22, 2011 and will be
distributed by the ARS to students involved in athletics, as well as
athletic schools throughout Armenia, Artsakh, and Javakhk, including
those in villages. Given the reputable brand of Nike, these shoes
will certainly allow for students to engage in sports and activities
with extreme comfort.
Annually, the ARS-WUSA ships gifts and humanitarian items to Armenia,
Artsakh, and Javakhk. The region takes an active role in offering aid
internationally and continues its support of orphans; two ARS "Sosse"
Kindergartens in the Republic of Nagorno Karabagh; youth centers in
Javakhk; and educational sponsorship programs. As a board member of
the United Armenian Fund, the ARS-WUSA continues to make a difference
in the lives of those in need both locally and across the globe.
