Thanks to the efforts of the numerous supporters of HayArmat charity organization, the grandparents living in No. 1 nursing home and orphanage children came together for a couple of hours in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, bringing to life the "A Great Family" initiative.
The elderly and children greeted and hugged each other, enjoying each other’s company till the end of the event, the organization said on Facebook.
As reported earlier, the initiative belongs to the founders of the Germany-based NGO, Anzhela Ghazaryan and Ani Dallakyan. It all started when they visited the care home in Haghtanak district of Yerevan.
During the conversation the guests noticed the love and care of the elderly, which they for some reason could not convey to their grandchildren. They noticed that the elderly felt a lack of family warmth and decided to call to life the "A Great Family" initiative.
The volunteers working for the NGO in Armenia made the necessary preparations for the event. Among them, Araks Babayan talked to the grandparents, inquiring what they would do if they lived with their grandchildren.
