HYEMINDS benefit to feature vocalist Manet-Miriam and Avedisian School principal
The Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA) Boston Child Care Committee will host HYEMINDS, an inspiring evening benefiting the Khoren and Shooshanig Avedisian School in Yerevan, Armenia.
The committee invites the community to join it on Friday, Nov. 13, at the Wellesley Country Club in Wellesley, Massachusetts, for an evening dedicated to education, opportunity and hope.
Established in 1998, the Avedisian School has become a beacon of educational excellence, providing tuition-free K-12 education on a modern, environmentally sustainable campus. Inspired by the vision and generosity of benefactors Edward and Pamela Avedisian, the school has transformed the lives of thousands of students in Yerevan’s Malatia-Sebastia district. Today, sustaining this mission — and ensuring every child continues to receive an exceptional education regardless of financial means — remains more important than ever.
HYEMINDS celebrates the remarkable potential of Armenia’s next generation while raising funds for the school’s future and helping ensure talented young minds have every opportunity to grow into tomorrow’s leaders.
This year’s program, co-chaired by Jeanmarie Papelian and Grace Bottomley, will feature Manet-Miriam, an acclaimed Armenian Canadian vocalist and star of “La Voix” (“The Voice” Canada), and has captivated audiences across North America and beyond. Melanya Geghamyan, founding principal of the Avedisian School, will share firsthand the school’s remarkable journey, its lasting impact on generations of students, and the difference that supporters continue to make.
Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring cocktails, dinner, live entertainment and a live auction.
“The Armenian community of Boston is invited to take part in a unique opportunity to support the children of Armenia,” said AMAA CEO and Executive Director Serge D. Buchakjian. “For decades, the Boston Child Care Program has been a model of success, positively impacting thousands of young lives. We invite you to join us in this important effort — your presence and partnership will help ensure that many more children are given the care, education, and hope they deserve.”
