September 1, 2005 will mark the beginning of a one-month event at
the Armenia Mariott Hotel in Yerevan aimed at raising awareness about
and funds for Armenia's destitute children and elderly population.
In the month of September, the Armenia Marriott will give its guests
the opportunity to interact with and contribute to the future of
the children and elderly of Orran, a benevolent non-governmental
organization formed five years ago in Yerevan by Raffi and Armine
K. Hovannisian. In that time, Orran has taken more than 100 children
off the streets, providing them with food, clothing, psychological
services, tutoring, and an avenue for success. It has embraced also
140 elderly.
On Wednesdays at 5pm, the children of Orran will perform traditional
Armenian songs and dances at the entrance of the hotel. At this
venue, the hotel guests will be able to interact with the children
and elderly, as well as purchase various arts and crafts the children
have made themselves. When paying for the check at the hotel's Cafe
or restaurants, or checking out of the hotel, the guests will also be
afforded the opportunity to contribute. Their contributions will be
generously matched by Orran's principal benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Krikor
and Anna Krikorian.
