Duty To Live #1

Another outing today for the Tufenkian Foundation in Armenia, but this time to the Duty to Live NGO in Yerevan’s Yerord Mas district. The NGO basically works with children from vulnerable families in that part of the capital in much the same way that other similar organizations such as Orran, the Fund for Armenian Relief, MSF-France, World Vision, the Shirak NGO in Gyumri and many others do.
This means that social workers employed by Duty to Live visit the families, and kids can receive help with their education as well as food in the NGO’s center. I had always been meaning to visit Duty to Live for years as part of my project on poverty in Armenia, but could never find the time. Today, I finally managed to.
