"BIRDS NEST" ORPHANAGE CONTINUES ITS POST GENOCIDE HUMANITARIAN VOCATION
The historic orphanage established by the Danish Missionaries during the
genocide and later given to the church, continues to serve the changing
needs of the community in the diaspora.
The "Birds Nest" is the only Armenian institution that provides shelter to
children who are orphaned, abandoned, or whose parents are unable to care
for them. It is an unending project because it constantly reinvents itself
to best serve the needs of the children. The Board members supervise the
renovation of the buildings, the quality of living conditions and the level
of education of the children. The Women's Guild provides voluntary
assistance and emotional accompaniment to the children.
Mr. Sam Boyadjian a recent university graduate has been appointed as the new
director of the institution. His enthusiasm, combined with the commitment of
its Board will undoubtedly transform the lives of the children at the
institution. However, "Birds Nest" also needs the resources of the Armenian
communities everywhere.
