Thanks, will get as much information ...Bareve Lucy;<br />Thanks, will get as much information for you as possible. There is so many improvements and changes to the internal programs it is hard to say about the future. Right now the aim is for Armenia to strengthen the family unit because of the large migration away from Armenia. <br />We need better education to mothers of special needs children. They have many old taboos and fears, but they are learning that there is support if they keep their children. <br />Thanks, hope you are all well and we look forward to seeing you at the next Christianing event. <br />We have some photos somewhere from our last fundraiser with the Chamlians, etc., Will dig out and post. <br />UAL leaves in 2 weeks from LAX for more supplies for the holidays. We scored some slightly used medical equipment, analyzers, diabetic monitors (very much needed) and insulin.Vanessa Kachadurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456787675990940096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609480700645826392.post-81368055573216247962010-10-16T09:21:49.558-07:002010-10-16T09:21:49.558-07:00thanks for the information it is very helpful to u...thanks for the information it is very helpful to us. can you have your friends in armnenia send more information about the current status of adoptions. i know you had said there are currently 10 adoptions to the usa for this current year. do they have any projections for next year? will it improve or stay the same? <br />keep up the good work. thanks for the contact information we are going to armenia in decemver.<br />Lucine Petrossyan<br />GlendaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
