Jinishian Memorial Program supports wide range of programs

Posted August 13th, 2024

I thought I knew Armenia. After all, this was my family’s fourth trip here since we adopted our youngest daughter, Hasmik, in 2006. I had seen much of the country, traveling as far south as Stepanakert in the breakaway republic of Artsakh. Each time we returned, I saw evidence that Armenia was shaking off its Soviet influence while proudly holding onto its culture and traditions. But this tour with the Jinishian Memorial Program (JMP) took me to corners of Armenia I had never experienced and allowed me to meet inspirational entrepreneurs and youth who are at the forefront of a young and dynamic country.
