Dearest Sponsor, 

This is Khachik. I was born and live in the village of Sardarapat, in Armavir province. I live with my mother, grandmother, and my 5-year-old brother. I am 15 years old. I am a freshman at Armavir’s Vocational State School, in the accounting division. I am a good student. 

I want to become a good professional and find a good job to be able to help my mother.  

I like to play sports and soccer. But my favorite pastime is spending time with my little brother. Since my father died before my brother was born, I am trying to do everything so that my brother doesn’t feel alone or “incomplete.” My father was killed on September 28, 2020. It was very painful for me. I am now trying to continue his legacy. You play a big role in my life because for the last five years you have been at my family’s side and have made my mother’s life a little easier. I am and always will be very grateful to you for your continued support.
