My summer went very well. I am very satisfied. This summer was interesting and full of surprises. I am so satisfied that I can’t explain it. What I liked most was being a member of the Committee, chairing a meeting, maintaining the rule of law, and having the sense of responsibility.  This summer I learned to work in groups, chair meetings, have sense of responsibility and basically became more and more proficient. I felt very well as a member of the Humanitarian Committee. I liked the fact that everyone’s opinions were taken into account. I became more proficient in organizational work. I am very satisfied and happy that I was one of the members of the Humanitarian Committee.

I had a beautiful summer, so beautiful that I can’t describe it. Everything was good. This summer taught me very, very, very good things, which I’ll need during my entire life. I liked being a member of the Humanitarian Committee as there were many pleasant people in it. And, I also liked the fact that the projects that were implemented and organized made me more experienced in life. In terms of organization, it gave me a better organizational experience. The Humanitarian Committee gave me many, many good things.

My summer went very well because Shushi (Nelli) Martirosyan was with me. This summer we realized humanitarian projects and it made me very happy. We went to excursions (forest), organized a mother’s day and a children’s day, made orphan children and elders happy along with the soldiers who protect the Motherland. This summer I learned how to chair a meeting, do philanthropy, keep the environment clean, how to use computers and learned English. I liked being a member of the Humanitarian Committee a lot because we were able to realize humanitarian work. I learned very good things by being a member of the Humanitarian Committee and I became more proficient. In terms of organizational work, I learned to organize a variety of humanitarian work. Our organized projects were very good ones. We were able to realize those with all of our abilities.

My summer went in a fabulous way. This summer we went to Khachen river for some rest. We also went to the forest where we were shown trees. This summer I learned many things. I learned how to chair a meeting, how to use computers, the Internet, English, ceramics. Also, Shushi taught us not to throw trash on the ground. We need to pick up the trash from the ground if there is anything on it and throw it into the trashcan. It means we are throwing the trash on our Motherland if we throw trash on the ground. I am very happy that I am a member of the Humanitarian Committee. If I weren’t a member of the Humanitarian Committee, I wouldn’t have been able to learn about the organization of twenty projects. What I liked most was that we built a room for the children, bought a globe, maps and soccer balls for the school.

This summer went very well for me. What I liked most was visiting the Khachen river and swimming, visiting the elder’s home and the orphanage. I liked it because I saw elders and orphans. What I liked least was that during the soccer match competition we (the girls) couldn’t beat the boys. This summer we learned that we needed to keep the environment clean. I liked being a member of the Humanitarian Committee.

This summer went very well for me. I liked it very much. I would like every summer to be like this one. What I liked most was visiting the orphanage and the elder’s home because I liked to make children happy and play table games with the elders. I learned that it was needed to always do humanitarian work, respect my friend and love and respect. I liked being a member of the Humanitarian Committee because I got to participate in the meetings, talk about the plans and about what we would need to do so that the projects would be beneficial for everyone. I learned how to organize something and now I can organize better than before. I may say that being a part of the Humanitarian Committee gave me everything.

This summer was amazing, happy and fun. It was the first summer in Tsmakahogh when there were so many children gathered and it seems that we created a family. This summer was unique and unrepeatable for me. I learned how to be organized, listen to and accept the advice and proposals of others and I fixed my weaknesses. I enjoyed being a member of the Humanitarian Committee, because we weren’t listening to one person’s opinion, but to everyone’s ideas and chose the golden middle. I learned to do more organizational work and to think before doing organizational work. I liked everything this summer: going to the river together, visiting the elder’s home and the orphanage, our meetings, and all of the memorable moments that we had together. I liked it because everything was organized on a high level.

I spent the whole summer going on excursions through the Artsakh World. I will never forget this summer. It will be unforgettable in my memories. What I liked most were the computer classes as they are very helpful in the 21st century. This summer I learned to be cooperative, respect elders and love youngsters. I learned to care for the environment and learned computers. I liked being a member of the Humanitarian Committee because I became knowledgeable in many things in life. I learned to be truthful, honest and cooperative. The Humanitarian Committee made a plan for my future, my goal is to establish a humanitarian committee.
