    ARS Thanks Donors on 20th Anniversary of `Sponsor a Child'

    by Armenian Weekly
    June 15, 2012

    The Armenian Relief Society's (ARS) `Sponsor a Child' Program was
    created in 1992 in response to the earthquake in Armenia and the armed
    struggle in Artsakh. Since then, more than 7,000 orphans have received
    the uninterrupted assistance of the program.


    One of the many letters received from beneficiaries of the `Sponsor a
    Child' program.
    `Sponsor a Child' was implemented by the ARS Central Executive Board,
    in collaboration with the ARS Regional Executives of Armenia and
    Artsakh. Needy youngsters up to 18 years of age, orphaned by one or
    both parents, have received uninterrupted monetary contributions from
    ARS chapters and members, AYF Junior and Senior chapters, Armenian
    churches and church organizations, Armenian schools and teachers,
    Armenian international, national and community organizations, as well
    as individual members of the Armenian community.

    Since the Armenian Relief Society's inception in 1910, our supporters
    have put us at the forefront of providing assistance to our brethren
    in Armenia and throughout the diaspora. The ARS Eastern USA Board of
    Regional Directors would like to thank every individual and
    organizational sponsor for their unwavering commitment to the `Sponsor
    A Child' Program.

    The goals of the program have been reached through your extraordinary
    generosity. We are forever thankful for your participation, and your
    commitment to the future of Armenia and Artsakh.

    Supporters who have `Sponsored a Child' through the ARS Eastern USA, include:
