IAF SPREADS SMILES

Dear Friends,

Since the great holidays of Christmas and New Year is approaching, everyone needs to be surrounded with love, care and warmth. This is the most joyful time especially for children. Unfortunately there are lots of children living in orphanage houses who need special care and attention from the society, as they are devoid of this special gift.

To meet this need Indo-Armenian Friendship NGO with the help of the Embassy of India in Armenia has decided to share the happiness and smiles with them and hence to organize a visit to one of Orphanage houses in Yerevan.

Some of IAF members from Yerevan State Medical University showed their readiness to introduce to the children the traditional dance of India. The children will also get introduced about other Indian traditions.

All we need is to collect gifts for the kids like toys, stationery or anything else.

Let's join hands together to make a single day as joyful as every kid

dreams for the New Year.

Please show your generosity by offering them some used/new gifts.
