Dear Sponsor, 

This is Artsakhtsi Mikael. I was born in Yerevan, but lived in Artsakh, in the village of Haterk. I went to kindergarten there. After the war, we moved to the city of Hrazdan (Armenia), and I go to school here. I am now in 5th grade, and I do my best to be a good student to become a good person.  

I have one sister and one younger brother. All three of us love singing. I love singing Armenian folk songs, and my dream is to become a famous singer. This year, I want to go to singing and dhol classes in the afterschool program.  

In my spare time, I like to ride a bicycle, play outside with my friends, but most of all – sing with my sister using the microphone that our mom got us. I dream and believe that one day I will go back to Artsakh and will have a solo concert near my father’s and my favorite place “Khach”. I will dedicate that concert to my hero father and he will be proud of his singer son.
