Dear Sponsor,

This is Meline… I was born on June 22, 2012. 

I live in the city of Vayk with a small and beautiful family: my mother and two brothers. My father Vardan was killed in the 44 Day War and left us to my mother’s care. My father didn’t get to see my little brother Vardan who was born 20 days after my father’s death. I remember those days with pain and will always remember my hero father whom I miss so very much. 

I am in 6th grade at Vayk’s Middle School. I am a good student so when I grow up, I will become a foreign language teacher. That is my big dream.  

I love my family, and I promise my mother to be a worthy daughter of my hero father. 

That’s it for this time.
