Armenia Fund Telethon Documentary Story Touches Hearts
Los Angeles, CA – During the Armenia Fund Telethon, various
documentaries and segments are shown, which are exclusively produced by
Armenia Fund’s Telethon production team. During the past 2005 Telethon,
a story featured Anush, a mother of 9 that recently relocated to
Garnakar village of the Mardakert Region of Karabakh. The young
mother was very proud of her life, despite the difficult and at
times, unbearable, conditions her family has gone through. She and
her husband are part of the ever growing Armenian population of the
fledgling Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
When asked what she needed at the moment, the woman responded with
a humble request for a cow so she can provide her family with milk,
yogurt and cheese. Touched by her needs, Los Angeles based Armenia
Fund, Inc. donor, Vrej Ter Petrossian decided to help the family. After
much inquiry, Armenia Fund located the woman and her family. Ter
Petrossian facilitated for the purchase and transportation of a cow
to the family. The family could not believe their eyes when they saw
the animal.
