ANI IS LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT YEAR!

Ani (on the left) first began receiving support services for learning disabilities in the first grade, but nevertheless struggled with schoolwork. She has dyslexia and quickly fell far behind her peers in reading. Her mother was concerned that her daughter was making only minimal progress.
Ani was enrolled in BoH program in March 2022 in Ijevan community-based center, where she was provided with an inclusive environment and specialized services. This September Ani started her schooling in the 2-nd grade. " Ani is doing so well!! Her reading has improved. The support she is getting from Bridge of Hope program, has improved her confidence and self-esteem. I will forever be so grateful for all your help in finding her the right fit", - tells her mother.

streams. It offered a memorable
summer vacation experience in the
beautiful nature of Tavush. The

wholesome environment of the daily

The program of the daily camp
included a long list of fun, exciting,
challenging ideas for activities that
