My Story

Marine A.  I was born in Stepanakert, Artsakh, on April 2nd. I am in the 7th grade. My favorite subjects at school are the Armenian, Russian, and English  languages. I don’t have any health problems. My eyes and hair are brown. My father is a kindergarten guard. He is a 3rd degree handicapped. My mother is a housewife. She has some undiagnosed health issues. Our income includes help from the government for people who were displaced from Artsakh, the father's pension for being handicapped, and his low salary. I have 3 brothers, Maks - 10, Karlen - 8, Gor - 7, and a sister, Nora - 4. Our family lives in a rented 3-room apartment. The renovation of the house is old, the walls are painted but there are cracks. The parquet is old, in some places torn up. The bathroom is made of concrete; the walls are covered in linoleum. Our apartment has water and gas. The majority of the furniture is old and belongs to the landlord. Child's parents do not have parental skills to follow up with her education.  According to the above mentioned problems Day center team decided to enroll Marine in the program.  (DC1-295, new)
