Appeal from Der Yeprem, Diocesan Liaison for Fund for Armenian Relief
HELP SPECIAL NEEDS ADULTS IN ARMENIA
Parents in Yerevan drop their adult special needs children off at the Prkutyun NGO where these 60 young adults have special classes and activities which help them function better in society. Fund for Armenian Relief's AYO! division wants to make sure they have a healthy lunch. The cost: $40/day for all of them.
The goal: Lunch for a year.
Please watch the video and consider a donation. As Jesus Christ says, "Whatever you have done for the least of mine, you did for me." So, for these young adults, for their parents, and for Jesus Christ, let's help out.

The Armenian Cultural Organization of Minnesota (ACOM) preserves and promotes Armenian culture, language, history and heritage in Minnesota and the upper Midwest. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in St. Paul, ACOM is the oldest and largest Armenian organization in the state.
ACOM welcomes everyone, regardless of ethnic, religious or political affiliation, who takes an interest in Armenia and Armenians. Our members include first generation through fourth generation Minnesota Armenians, their families, and non-Armenian friends of the community.
Whether your interest is genealogy or history, fine arts or folk crafts, travel or current affairs—even if you don’t speak a word of Armenian—you’ll find a warm welcome at ACOM social gatherings and cultural events.
