This Wednesday, we’re excited to introduce you to Tamara — an 11-year-old beauty from Sevan.

Tamara dreams of having a pair of sneakers with wheels, so when she gets tired walking home from school, she can simply roll her way back.

Her mornings always begin with reading. After finishing the Children’s Bible and the Old Testament, she’s now making her way through the New Testament.

While receiving treatment at the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Armenia, Tamara loves playing team games in the playroom with her friend Nairi.

“It’s true that there aren’t many entertainment venues in Sevan—like shopping malls or playgrounds as in Yerevan—but there is one thing that only Sevan has: Lake Sevan.” says Tamara.

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to introduce you to another brave hero.

Meet 15-year-old Anna from Artsakh. Anna adores handmade jewelry and dreams of owning a piece from her favorite brand—Sirusho-”PreGomesh” . Her love for the brand is closely tied to one name that inspires her: Sirusho

Like many girls, she’s passionate about jewelry and even creates her own using tiny beads. She’s so talented that she also makes beautiful beaded handbags and gifts them to her friends.

Anna is an avid reader, especially drawn to detective stories. She’s a big fan of Agatha me Christie and plans to dive into books by Ruben Yesayan while recovering at the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Armenia . Her most recent read was “A Killer’s Mind” by Mike Omer.

She also enjoys watching Korean dramas and dreams of traveling once she’s fully recovered.

Meet this week’s little hero – 9-month-old Vardan!

On August 28, he will be turning 10 months old.

Despite being so small, Vardan already has a big love for cars — his sisters say he’d be overjoyed to have a big one to ride in for walks.

During his treatment at the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Armenia, Vardan has built a warm bond with the entire staff. He also can spend time endlessly chatting with Robin the robot and proudly introducing him to all his toys.

One toy in particular is extra special for Vardan, that is a cuddly hippopotamus gifted to him by City of Smile. It has become Vardan’s inseparable bedtime friend.

It’s Wednesday, and today we’re sharing the story of 13-year-old Hovhannes from the Shirak region.

Hovhannes is fascinated by space. There isn’t a single day he doesn’t read space news, even during his treatment at the Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Armenia.

His mom is always amazed by how much he knows. One day, while looking out the hospital room window and watching birds fly, Hovhannes told her that the Earth’s magnetic field must be weaker, because birds use it to find their way, and these birds were flying in a strange way.

Hovhannes is very friendly and really misses his football team, where he used to train before getting sick.

He also loves music and dreams of learning to play the guitar one day.

Hovhannes’ big wish is to have a good telescope so he can look at the stars from the window of their home in Gyumri.
