Syrian Armenian Relief Fund

WE HAVE HEARD THE CALL… “Our homes have been taken from us; centuries
of our heritage has been destroyed. This is a call to all Armenians;
this is a call to humanity.”

In the light of the latest developments in the Kessab region of Syria,
which subjected the Armenian families to surprise attacks and looting,
and forced them to flee for their lives, the Executive Committee of
the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund (SARF) held an emergency session
and decided to immediately transfer $100,000 in direct financial
assistance to reach our compatriots to provide a degree of physical
subsistence and financial relief.

The struggle for survival of the Syrian Armenians continues and
requires a united will to provide immediate assistance.

Let us share their will to survive and provide on-going assistance
to them. Send your donations to the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund,
P.O. Box 1948, Glendale, CA 91209-1948.

The following churches, charities and organizations came together
to form the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund in August 2012: Armenian
Catholic Eparchy in North America; Armenian Evangelical Union
of North America; Western Diocese of the Armenian Church; Western
Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America; Armenian General
Benevolent Union; Armenian Missionary Association of America; Armenian
Relief Society of Western U.S.A.; Armenian Democratic Liberal Party;
Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Western U.S.A.; and Social Democrat
Hunchakian Party-Western U.S.A. The web site address follows:

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
