    The Educational Fund of the ARS Sponsor-A-Child Program


    Nearly two decades ago, in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake
    of 1988 and the ensuing liberation war of Artsakh, numerous severely
    damaged communities of our Homeland were filled with thousands of
    orphaned children. In order to relieve -- at least partially -- the
    suffering of these parentless youngsters, in 1992« the ARS started the
    Sponsor-A-Child program which -- with the generosity of concerned
    sponsors and devoted members of ARS entities -- after almost
    one-and-a-half decades of uninterrupted service, continues to send
    annual payments to 3,500 or-phans.

    Today, there are less than 300 orphans on our lists in need of sponsors.
    Over the past 14 years, around 7,000 orphans have received the
    uninterrupted assistance of this program. At this time, in view of the
    fact, that the majority of those orphans has already reached an age when
    one must think of making a living at a suitable career in a chosen
    profession -- or trade -- as productive members of the community, the
    ARS 68th International Convention passed a resolution to create an
    Educational Fund for orphans of Armenia and Artsakh who have reached the
    age of 18. This fund will become viable through the generosity of
    sponsors who are willing to continue their annual contributions of $130,
    as well as additional tax exempt donations, promoting the higher
    education of these parentless young men and women.

    Assured of the assistance of our communities, we invite our fellow
    Armenians to remember the ARS Orphans Educational Fund when they make
    tax-exempt donations in lieu of flowers, or other occasions. Donations
    to this Fund can be done through local ARS entities.

    The ARS Central Executive Board appeals to all -- members, supporters
    and friends -- of the Sponsor-A-Child program, to give to its
    Educational Fund their moral and financial support, in order to bring a
    program, conceived and born in the blood and tears of tragic
    circumstances, to an auspiciously beneficial completion.
