ENABLE 360 CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN ARMENIA
SUMMER OF FRIENDSHIP, A FUTURE OF HOPE
Progress summary From May to August, 360 children with disabilities in Tavush Marz continued their journey of growth and inclusion. May was a month of hard work and achievement as children completed their school year with the support of therapies, learning progress, and confidence-building activ ities. Families and therapists prepared them for a summer full of joy, belonging, and discovery. In June and July, our “Summer of Friendship, a Future of Hope” inclusive camp became a magical place where children laughed, painted, danced, and played side by side with their peers — many experiencing friendship without barriers for the very first time. As August arrived, children proudly stepped into a new school and kindergarten year, carry ing with them courage, happy memories, and hope for the future. None of this would have been possible without you. Your generosity transforms lives every day — turning therapy into progress, loneliness into friendship, and dreams into reality.
Thank you for giving children the gift of hope!
360 CHILDREN, 360 STORIES OF FRIENDSHIP AND JOY SONA’S STORY
Sona, 11 years old, arrived at the summer camp shy and hesitant to join group games. On the second day, she held another girl’s hand during painting hour, and soon the two were laughing and creating colorful butterflies together. By the end of camp, Sona was running freely with her new friends — her smile said everything.
ARMEN’S STORY
Armen turned 10 during the summer camp, and for the first time, he celebrated his birthday surrounded by friends. The children sang, shared cake, and cheered for him — and Armen’s eyes sparkled with joy. What could have been just another day became a memory of belonging and happiness that he will carry forever.
Your kindness made Sona’s smile and Armen’s birthday celebration possible ! With your continued support, many more children will discover friendship, joy, and the chance to simply be children.
