The Valley’s Armenia: Telethon for Syria

Your Central Valley, CA
March 28 2023

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE) – A multi-year medical mission to Armenia has been providing free medical care to poverty-stricken families in the country, care that families can’t afford and would not otherwise receive.

Later this month, the mission will shift course to the Lebanese capital Beirut: home to more than 2 million people including approximately 150,000 Armenians.

On Friday, 24 members of the medical mission team of local doctors will leave Fresno for Beirut. Thousands of dollars of essential medical supplies and medications will accompany them – with a portion to be delivered to the Syrian border for survivors of last month’s powerful earthquake in Turkey and Syria.

To help them achieve that goal, you can donate to the cause by clicking here or using your cell phone to open the QR code above.

A telethon organized by KSEE24 will be taking place throughout the day on Tuesday, hosted by evening anchor Stefani Booroojian.

 
Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
