GYUMRI’S NEGLECTED: WITH 7 YOUNG KIDS, THE OHANYAN’S STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE
11:03, January 30, 2013
The following video shows how Hayk and Margarita Ohanyan are surviving
with their seven young children on the outskirts of Gyumri.
The parents do not work and survive on social assistance from the
government. The fuel they burn during the winter months comes from a
local garbage dump.
Shirak Center staffers came across the Ohanyan family when they were
distributing assistance provided by Aram Mikayelyan from Australia and
Elvis Madatyan from America.
Workers at the Shirak Center make daily visits to needy families
living in trailers and dilapidated buildings in Gyumri and the local
vicinity. They have met many large families like the Ohanyans whose
only income is government assistance.
