    You are most welcome Aram. It is Sheila and Antoine's humble house on the top of the mountain.
    Too bad, Ararat is hiding.... But he'll come back.

      Apologies Antoine, of course it is Sheila's and your house, pardon the oversight on my part: it is amended.

Soldiers' families: difficult day...

 Today was an emotional day. I visited a host of families in surrounding regions, all very close to the border with Nakhichevan, who had a father, son, brother and even grandfather who either died during the recent war, or are missing. Given the relatively limited funds on offer, I asked Syunik NGO how we could help those most in need in the region. As such, Syunik NGO created a list of 50 names and families from this province, families of the missing or dead with children, who were considered most in need. How cruel to need to pick and choose who to support... Each will receive 50,000AMD, about $125 Canadian, from this fund: the hope is that this would provide each family with about a month's worth of goods. These families will eventually receive funds from the Armenian government as well, but the bureaucracy takes time to reach everyone in a timely manner. Though mostly symbolic, I hope that my mere presence, hearing their stories and explaining that Diasporan Armenians care abou...
