"Our dedication to Armenian causes continues with our Winter Gala mission: to provide aid to AGBU supported charities.”

The AUA enrolls 450 graduate students for undergraduate and graduate degrees in Public Health, Law, Conservation and Environmental Science, Business Management, Political Science and Engineering Degrees. AUA students require financial aid for tuition and books. At a time when Armenia is in dire need for future leaders, support of these students is of high priority.

AGBU Children's Centers in Nork, Arapkir and Malatya AGBU and the Holy See of Etchmiadzin joined forces in February 1993 to administer three Children's Centers in Yerevan. With overcrowded schools and shortened class hours, the Centers provide history, language, art, music, dance, crafts and gymnastic programs each day from two in the afternoon to seven in the evening. All three centers include a chapel, weekly church services and Bible studies. The combined Centers have an enrollment of 3,500 students ages five to sixteen and employ an administrative staff of three hundred. Over the past two years each center has undergone an extensive renovation to update classrooms. Three of AGBU's Soup Kitchens are also presently located at the Arapkir, Malatya and Nork Centers.
