Dear Sponsor, 

This is Mariam, the oldest daughter of fallen hero Hayk. I am seven years old and am in the second grade. I live in the city of Sevan, in Gegharkunik Province. 

I participate in the afterschool program’s classes: dance, chess, art, English, and music. I sing in the Agat Choir of Sourb Hreshtakapetats Church. 

I like to go on school field trips, visit museums, go camping, and go to the theater. 

I very much want my country to live in peace and prosperity. I want to grow up in my country as a worthy child of my hero father. 

Thank you for being by our side. 

May God bless you.
