WELLESLEY, Mass.—The Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) Boston Child Care Committee is proud to once again celebrate our “Hyeminds” to support the Khoren and Shooshanig Avedisian School. Please join us at the Wellesley Country Club on the evening of November 7, 2024, for what promises to be a memorable event.
Established in 1998, the Avedisian School provides exceptional K-12 tuition-free education in a modern, environmentally-friendly building using state-of-the-art facilities. Thanks to the vision and generosity of its benefactors, Edward and Pamela Avedisian, the school continues to make an extraordinary impact on the lives of Armenian children in the low-income Yerevan district of Malatia-Sebastia.
The Avedisian School has grown to have an even greater impact, as world events have displaced and compelled Armenians from other locations to seek safety, peace and hope. For those moving to Malatia-Sebastia, the school has become a beacon, brighter than ever — opening its doors even wider to meet the needs of young Armenians. But as class numbers have doubled and more students get opportunities, fiscal demands have grown as well. In order to keep the education critically tuition-free, the need for support right now is greater than it has ever been.
The evening will be one of support, unity and determination. “Hyeminds” is our rallying cry to stand behind our amazing and deserving children who can — and will — be Armenia’s leaders, if simply given the opportunity for an education and a helping hand.
The committee, chaired by Susan Adamian Covo and Phyllis Dohanian, has put together a unique and exciting program, highlighted by special guest British-Armenian Kev Orkian. Among his many talents, Orkian is an award-winning actor, musician, motivational speaker and stand-up comedian. He dedicates much of his time to traveling the globe to entertain audiences, so come to the event expecting to laugh. Given that Orkian recently had the opportunity to visit the Avedisian School in Yerevan in person, come expecting to be inspired, too.
A live auction will accompany cocktails and dinner. Special auction items will include a stunning diamond bracelet generously donated by Long’s Jewelers in Burlington, round-trip first-class airfares to London or Paris and more.
For reservations or for more information, contact Phyllis Dohanian at 617-510-0395 or the AMAA at 201-265-2607, ext. 124. To make an online reservation or donation, visit amaa.org/bostonchildcare2024. All proceeds will benefit this special school, and all contributions in excess of the value of goods and services received are tax deductible.
We hope you will join us in person to feel the amazing collective energy in the room for this vital cause. Regardless, the AMAA is deeply appreciative of your generous support for the life-altering impact of the Avedisian School.
“Every day I dream big. Some days are good days, some days are not so good, but every day is a blessing.” – Kev Orkian
