HOW SPONSORSHIP STARTED

The AMAA also gives donors the opportunity to communicate with their sponsored child and visit them when traveling to Armenia. Donors may also send additional gifts for special occasions such as holidays or birthdays.

With your sponsorship, you will receive pictures of your child, information about his/her family and circumstances, an annual thank you letter from a child in Armenia, and the opportunity to meet him/her if you are visiting Armenia. We thank all of our donors for their generosity and for making an impact in the lives of our children around the world.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. -Isaiah 41:10
