Paramus, NJ — The Armenian Missionary Association of America Boston Child Care Committee will present HYEMINDS, an inspiring evening benefiting the Khoren and Shooshanig Avedisian School in Yerevan, Armenia.
Community members are invited to join Friday, November 13, at the Wellesley Country Club in Wellesley, Massachusetts, for an unforgettable evening dedicated to education, opportunity, and hope.
Established in 1998, the Avedisian School has become a beacon of educational excellence, providing tuition-free K to 12 education on a modern, environmentally sustainable campus. Inspired by the vision and generosity of benefactors Edward and Pamela Avedisian, the school has transformed the lives of thousands of students in Yerevan’s Malatia-Sebastia district. Today, sustaining this mission—and ensuring every child continues to receive an exceptional education regardless of financial means—remains more important than ever.
HYEMINDS celebrates the remarkable potential of Armenia’s next generation while raising critical support for the school’s future. Together, we can help ensure these talented young minds have every opportunity to grow into tomorrow’s leaders.
This year’s program, Co-Chaired by Jeanmarie Papelian and Grace Bottomley, will feature an exceptional lineup of guests. We are honored to welcome Manet-Miriam, acclaimed Armenian Canadian vocalist and star of “La Voix” (“The Voice” Canada), whose extraordinary talent has captivated audiences across North America and beyond. The program will also privileged to welcome Melanya Geghamyan, founding Principal of the Avedisian School, who will share firsthand the school’s remarkable journey, its lasting impact on generations of students, and the difference that supporters continue to make.
Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring cocktails, dinner, live entertainment, and an exciting live auction.
The spirit of HYEMINDS is captured by a sentiment previously shared by AMAA CEO/Executive Director Serge D. Buchakjian, “The Armenian community of Boston is invited to take part in a unique opportunity to support the children of Armenia. For decades, the Boston Child Care Program has been a model of success, positively impacting thousands of young lives. We invite you to join us in this important effort—your presence and partnership will help ensure that many more children are given the care, education, and hope they deserve.”
We sincerely hope you will join us to share in the spirit of this extraordinary evening. Whether through your presence or your generous support, the AMAA is deeply grateful for your commitment to advancing the life-changing mission of the Avedisian School.
