The Our Lady of Armenia Convent is a social / educational institution established for the purpose of securing the overall development of orphans and needy children. Through the Our Lady of Armenia Centre and the Diramayr Summer Camp, the Sisters strive to create an atmosphere where children can develop their mental, spiritual, social, physical and emotional abilities. The Our Lady of Armenia Centre admits boarding girls, and daytime boys and girls, ages 6 to 20. The Centre encourages family members - grandparents, uncles and/or aunts - to keep the orphans overnight in effort to help the children fully develop their emotional growth within the context of their extended family. The Centre provides food, clothing, school supplies and many other needs for its students. The Diramayr Summer Camp reaches out to 800 children from socially vulnerable families. In addition to providing food, clothing, and plenty of fun, the camp also provides the campers with dental and medical examinations. |
