Henrikh Mkhitaryan's long-awaited meeting with the children of Orran
Finally, one of the most anticipated dreams of the children of Orran has come true. They met their favorite football player and long-time friend and supporter of Orran, Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
For nine years now, Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been lovingly supporting Orran by donating his signed jersey for the annual charity dinner-auction held in the USA. All proceeds from the sale of that jersey go towards providing education, food, and other essential needs for the children of Orran. Over time, Henrikh's jersey has become the most awaited and emotional auction gift of the charity evening, symbolizing not only sporting success but also care and responsibility for the future of children.
And finally, the long-awaited day arrived. Henrikh Mkhitaryan personally met for the first time with the children whose lives his support has played an important role in for many years, along with his family—his mother, Mrs. Marina Tashchyan, and his wife, Betty Vardanyan. Among them were also children displaced from Artsakh.
Present at the meeting was the founder of Orran, Armine Hovhannisyan, who introduced the organization's activities, spoke about the programs being implemented, and expressed gratitude to Henrikh for his support over the years.
The children of Orran welcomed Henrikh with warm applause and great enthusiasm. Our students had made angels during their pottery workshop, which they gifted to Henrikh's daughter and son as a sign of love and gratitude.
The most anticipated part of the meeting was the Q&A session. The children of Orran eagerly asked questions to their favorite football player, and he lovingly and warmly answered each one.
One of the most emotional moments of the day was the words of our student Alexander from Artsakh:
«Your father once said that it doesn't matter what profession you choose, but you must be a good person. You have kept that promise because you help Orran, underprivileged children, and those forcibly displaced from Artsakh. One of those children is me.»
Emotionally moved by these words, Henrikh Mkhitaryan responded:
«I am very happy that I can lend a helping hand. I have always wanted to be an example for children. The most important thing is to be a good person, to learn well, and to never give up. Rest assured, your bright future is ahead of you.»
At the end of the meeting, Henrikh lovingly signed his authored book for each child, providing not only a memorable autograph but also motivation, faith, and the strength to have big dreams.
This meeting was not just a beautiful event. It was a continuation of years of kindness, trust, and dedication. A day during which the children saw that the person standing next to them is not only a great football player but also a person with a big heart.
Thank you, Henrikh, for being by the side of the Orran family for nine years, proving that true victories are born not only on the field but also in human kindness.
