There was a great feast at the Vanadzor orphanage on the 26th of August. With the support of the orphanage director - Arshaluys Harutyunyan, Lyuba (one of the young ladies from orphanage) was marrying. It is interesting that Lyuba's two other sisters had already found their second halves and married. Lyuba, who attracted Anushavan from Vanadzor, wasn't an exception either.
The wedding party of this nice couple took place on Sunday, where many guests, a small group of relatives and, the most important, children from orphanage and staff were present. Children were escorting one of their elder sisters - Lyuba. The whole wedding party was very touching and nice.
We are sure that we will be hearing a lot about this young family.
The whole staff of the "Future is Open" educational NGO congratulates Anushavan and Lyuba for their responsible and nice step. We are sure that they will be an example for many and many children who will form their exemplary families.

Preparatory work

Fortunately, "Future is Open" NGO was able to send 10 children from special types of schools to spend 10 days in the summer camp (in Arzni). In this way organization tries to encourage children, who took active part in the classes conducted by the organization during the whole semester. Each of them must realize that education is priority for them and, by putting it on the first place and using it in their life they will succeed.
We are sure, that children will realize all these and during 2007 - 2008 academic year they will be more responsible and hard-working as they see their friends' success.
