Andre’s Humanitarian Support for Debi Arach

As part of the SERVICE Armenia 2026 trip, participants are raising funds for a Paros project they are passionate about. Andre has chosen to support the Debi Arach Children’s Center in Gyumri for humanitarian aid. The Center serves children from vulnerable families, providing a safe and supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive.

Through this effort, Andre will raise funds that will directly support the children’s essential needs and overall well-being. Your support will make a meaningful difference in their lives and help create a brighter future.

A message from Andre:

I have the amazing opportunity to travel to Armenia on a service trip through The Paros Foundation this summer. I am excited to connect more deeply with my heritage while helping communities in need! Being Armenian has always had a big impact on my life because I love the cuisine, the dancing, the people, and almost everything about Armenian culture.

What makes this trip to Armenia so special to me is that it will be my first time leaving America, while also connecting with my homeland. The past few summers I have been going to an Armenian summer camp, which further strengthened my love of the culture, making me want to go to Armenia so much more! In addition to learning more about my culture and meeting other students my age, I look forward to making meaningful contributions through various service projects.

Since I am so eager and passionate to help those in need, I have chosen to raise money for humanitarian work. This program is one way for me to make a lasting impact, so I won’t hesitate to help provide this aid to families and children. I have had the privilege of growing up with basic necessities, and understanding that has led me to see the significance of assisting others whose situation may not be the same as mine. This fundraiser supports children at the Debi (Tebi) Arach Children’s Center by supplying groceries, clothing, and other necessities. Your generous donations will enable me to hand deliver important necessities to families in Armenia.

Thanks for your consideration to contribute and support the cause of this fundraiser and my volunteer service in Armenia. Any donation, big or small, will go a long way in helping me reach my fundraising goals.
