Please meet Arkady – 11 years old.
He is from Hrazdan, has two brothers, elder and younger. He is in 6th grade and is a very good student. Arkady is a multitalented kid. He draws, sings and plays several musical instruments – guitar, drum, piano. He has participated in a number of concerts and cultural festivals (The Artmusic, The Renaissance). Besides, Arkady likes to play chess with his grandmother, who is a chess champion by the way. In December, 2018 Arkady was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Now he is getting his treatment at Hematological Center named after Yeolyan. His life has changed completely after this diagnosis. Even though he is very young, but perception of values has really changed for him. He is such a brave kid, that he is not shying away to say that, he is afraid…..of how is disease will progress. But Arkady also believes that people’s love and warmth will help him go through this hard times and WIN. His biggest dream is to recover soon and go back to his normal life. Arkady also has a wish to meet composer Edgar Gyanjumyan and tp perform a duet with him.
P. S. On January 26 was Arkady’s birthday. He has turned 12.
Edgar Gyanjumyan came to congratulate him. We are so grateful that we could bring him some joy by making one of his dreams come true today. Edgar also brought gifts for Arkady – easel and painting supplies.
We truly believe that this meeting and all the positive emotions that came with it will have a huge impact on Arkady’s further treatment process.
During our meeting it was also agreed, that once Arkady is healthy and out of hospital they will record a song together with Edgar Gyanjumyan.
