WATERTOWN, Mass.,-Armenian Relief Society representatives Suzy
Sarafian, Lucy Pampalian and Carolin Keverian will join over 2,000
global civil society activists at the 63rd annual UN Department of
Public Information/Non-Governmental Organizations Conference titled,
`Advance Global Health: Achieve the MDGs'.
The three day Conference will take place in Melbourne, Australia, at
the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from Monday, 30 August
to Wednesday, 1 September 2010.
The 63rd UN DPI/NGO Conference is being organized in partnership with
the United Nations Department of Public Information, the NGO/DPI
Executive Committee and the Government of Australia.
The conference aims to promote ways in which civil society, in
partnership with those in business, academia, philanthropy, media and
medicine, can work together to create the conditions which contribute
to improve global health.
The Armenian Relief Society supports global health initiatives by
working towards the alleviation of poverty, upholding human rights,
and promoting basic education, health care, women's rights, and child
welfare. `Our goal is to make people aware of how global health is not
simply the management of disease. Global health requires conditions
which promote health, such as sustainable peace, poverty reduction,
education, gender equality, basic human rights and freedom from
fear',- stated Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General, World Health
Organization.
Founded in 1910, the Armenian Relief Society is a humanitarian
organization with over 15,000 members operating in 29 countries,
including Australia with over 300 members. The ARS, Inc. is on the
roster with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
`2010 marks the Centenary of the ARS which we are celebrating under
the credo of `One Hundred Years of Devoted Service',- said Suzy
Sarafian, ARS Australia Chairperson. `During our second centenary we
will continue to live by our creed `With the people - for the
people',- she concluded.
