SARF DELIVERS ANOTHER $100K FOR SYRIAN ARMENIANS
Friday, June 13th, 2014
Syrian Armenian Relief Fund
GLENDALE--As the war rages on in Syria, the calls for help are reaching
donors, whose contributions raised another $100,000 for the Syrian
Armenian Relief Fund (SARF). With the latest transfer, the total SARF
contributions for Syrian Armenians reached one million dollars.
"Thanks to the caring, compassionate and highly responsible spirit
of our donor public, we have reached this milestone," said Zaven
Khanjian, SARF Executive Committee Chairperson. He added, "As we cannot
reach each individual donor personally, we take this opportunity to
salute every one of them around the nation who contributed from $5
to $25,000."
The latest donations included two $10,000 donations. One was from
the European-based family of the late Dr. Iskandar Kassis of Aleppo;
the other was from Dr. Noubar Ouzounian, and ENT-otolaryngologist in
Anaheim, Calif.
Even before we can comprehend the full impact of the losses in Kessab,
and as the Nor Kyough neighborhood of Aleppo braces for more bombs,
the Armenians of Mosul in Iraq had to run for their lives and the
cycle of violence continues echoing the struggles of those who survived
the Armenian Genocide.
It is unbearable for all to watch the demise of the Mother Diasporan
community at the onset of the Genocide Centennial. As a community
far away from the delivery of help to those affected by the crisis,
it lifts our spirits, when we hear the stories of courage and optimism
that emanate from evacuation centers. Our community members need to
do their part to get involved to support solutions to the crisis,
because financial assistance is only a stop-gap measure to sustain
the effected communities.
Thank you for all your contributions. Please continue to give and to
share your blessings. Send your check to SARF: P.O. Box 1948, Glendale,
CA 91209-1948; or donate on-line at www.SyrianArmenianReliefFund.org.
The following churches, charities and organizations came together
to form the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund in August 2012: Armenian
Catholic Eparchy in North America; Armenian Evangelical Union of North
America; Western Diocese of the Armenian Church; Western Prelacy of
the Armenian Apostolic Church of America; Armenian General Benevolent
Union; Armenian Missionary Association of America; Armenian Relief
