Recently, the AMAA Vanadzor Shogh Center was named as the Sarkis and Haygouhie Marandjian Shogh Center.
AMAA Armenia held a plaque unveiling ceremony as an expression of profound gratitude to the benefactors Sarkis and Haygouhie Marandjian of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, members and benefactors of the Armenian Missionary Association of Canada (AMAC). Sarkis Marandjian is also a Board member of the AMAC. The new plaque was unveiled on March 30, 2022 at the AMAA Vanadzor “Shogh” Day Center. AMAA Armenia representative Harout Nercessian greeted the staff, guests, parents and children present at the event, expressing his gratitude to the Marandjians, thanks to whose generosity many children receive life-impacting educational, social and psychological services. The children performed a flash mob with colored ribbons, representing the bright colors brought into their lives thanks to the “Shogh” Center: friendship, responsibility, honesty and other noble human qualities.
Vanadzor Shogh Center’s Coordinator, Irina Chakhoyan along with the children and parents voiced their profound gratitude to the benefactors for the incredible positive impact the Marandjian “Shogh” Center has on the lives of the children.
The event participants painted the seemingly blank canvas with brushstrokes, which unveiled into the sketch portrait of the Marandjians.
