Dear Compatriots:
The latest political and security developments in Lebanon and Syria have once again brought the attention of the world to the Middle East where, facing many difficulties, the mother communities of the diaspora, our Lebanese-Armenian and Syrian-Armenian brothers and sisters survive.
Our two communities, which have been in crisis for years, face new challenges today. They cannot confront these challenges in the present circumstances by relying only on their own efforts.
True to its mission, the Armenian Relief Society is once more leading an all-Armenian fund-raising effort to extend a hand to the Armenian communities of Lebanon and Syria.
The Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Society fully appreciates that along with hot meals and safe shelter, our Armenian communities need Armenian schools and culture, so the new generation relates to its national identity and roots, especially in such dreadful circumstances.
We call on all the members and friends of Hamazkayin throughout the world to participate in the ARS fundraising effort for the welfare of our communities in Lebanon and Syria.
