Mother’s day in Armenia is celebrated on April 7th. This year we organized an event for the mothers and grandmothers at the center. We included grandmothers not only because they are of course mothers, but also because many of our children are raised by their “Tatig” (Grandmother).

In preparation for this day, the children at the center made a large poster, handmade flowers to give to every mother/grandmother, baked cookies for them, and learned songs, poems, and dances.

It was a fun day filled with songs about mothers, games involving both the mothers and the children, dancing, eating, and taking family pictures.
