Dear Armenian Reporter:
I have read the exchange of October 1, 2012 on your 'letters page'
and am sorry to learn of the unwarranted criticism of the Armenian
Lighthouse Charitable Foundation.
After a recent visit to the Armenian Lighthouse Charitable Foundation's
facility on the road to Etchmiadzine just outside Yerevan, I
accompanied them in a clothes distribution operation in my region of
Vayots Dzor. I am happy to share some of the photos I took with your
readers. Link to http://sdrv.ms/TKeUbe.
I have rarely seen such a well run and welcoming institution in
Armenia and I was impressed by Mrs. Seta Ghazarian and her earnest
determination to help the needy in Armenia; Because of what I saw,
I decided to write you to help your readers understand why I totally
support this worthwhile and important charity without reservation.
Seta Ghazarian watches her operation with a transparency and
effectiveness that I would hope all Armenian organizations will try
to emulate.
The main goal of her registered charity is to help young Armenian
women realize their full potential, despite the danger and adversity
they face. The charity has built a modern and beautiful facility in
which they provide a safe and supportive residence for young women and
their families who have fled dangerous living conditions, along with
an on-site ObGyn physician, dental health services with an on-site
dentist, and a feeding program for the poor and elderly of the area.
In addition, the charity supports a local kindergarten, and packages
donations of essential goods which they distribute with care to
the needy throughout Armenia and Artsakh (the photos of one such
distribution activity for which I provided a link, were taken by me
in Vayots Dzor).
I believe that, under the leadership of Mrs. Seta Ghazarian, the
Armenian Lighthouse Charitable Foundation provides a living model for
effective charitable and relief work in Armenia. I hope that readers
in the Diaspora will support her useful work, work that is necessary
and needs to continue and flourish if we want to build a stronger
and more productive Armenia for the future.
I am available to provide further details on this charity and can be
contacted via email: aterjanian (at) yahoo.com
