On the 25th of May, 2018, for the first time the “Little Prince” social center of Gyumri participated in the Presidential Award for “the best local organization of child care and protection” competition in Vanadzor. Children from different regions of Armenia participated in the competition by 12 groups with 10 participants in each of them.
The final competition took place at the sport center of Vanadzor. The aim of the competition was to make the physical culture and sport popular, as well as to raise the importance of physical culture and to organize health care and large-scale local activities among the child care and protection institutions in Armenia.
On February 13, the Feast of the Holy Candlemas was celebrated at the Gyumri Elderly Day Care Center of Armenian Caritas.
The holiday was honored by Father Mashtots Zahteryan, who explained the meaning of the holiday. After the Lord’s Prayer the beneficiaries circulated around and sang songs. In the end the center’s beneficiaries, volunteers and staff jumped over the bonfire. Later everyone was expecting a feast. All beneficiaries, volunteers and staff were happy and enjoyed the days.
According to the Center’s beneficiaries, the center allows not only spend fine time in the center but also to memorize and celebrate such national and religious holidays.
