Today, our girls had the pleasure of warmly welcoming a group of guests visiting us from the United States.
Our guests had the opportunity to learn more about our center, meet our girls and spend some special time together. And, of course, they even joined the girls in building a few LEGO sets! 😊
There is nothing more meaningful than these warm moments of connection.
We are always grateful for the people who take the time to visit, connect with our girls and become a part of our Mer Hooys family, even for a little while. ... See MoreSee Less
Our Board President, Adrienne L. Krikorian, is in Armenia!
Every year, our girls and the entire Mer Hooys team look forward with great excitement to Adrienne’s visit. Her arrival is always a very special time for all of us.
Adrienne brings so much positive energy with her and her presence reminds our girls and our team how deeply they are cared for and supported.
We are so happy to welcome you back to Armenia, Adrienne!
We are grateful for every moment together and for the love and dedication you continue to share with our Mer Hooys family. ... See MoreSee Less
Thank you to Steve and Lisa Karadjian for their very generous donation of two much needed and brand new stove/oven units for our kitchen. Their generous donation was made in memory and honor of Steve’s mother. ... See MoreSee Less
As part of our ongoing psychosocial support, psychologist Sona led a group art-therapy session with some of our younger girls, focusing on their connection with and sense of belonging to their living space.
Through creativity and open discussion, the girls explored what makes their room feel comfortable and special to them. Each girl created her own version of “Our Room Rules,” reflecting the values and boundaries that are important to her.
Together, they talked about: 🔸How they care for and respect their shared space 🔸What they love most about their room 🔸How they can make their space feel welcoming and comfortable 🔸What they would like others to know about the rules and boundaries that matter to them
Activities like these give our girls an opportunity to express themselves, develop a stronger sense of ownership and responsibility and build healthy relationships with the spaces they call home.
At Mer Hooys, we believe that creating a safe and nurturing environment is about more than providing a place to live—it is about helping every girl feel that she belongs. ... See MoreSee Less
