First, I'd like to thank the 5 people that responded to my last log with intentions of helping out the family who recently had their 10th child.

We contacted the Minister of Education, who in return contacted the principal of the school where 6 of the children are attending. The principal was very nice and promised to pay extra attention to these children. We found out that the kids have not been studying properly, only because the family cannot afford the necessary schoolbooks. We will probably purchase the books ourselves for the children. We're also looking into having a doctor drop by the home once in a while to check up on the newborn, as well as the other young ones. A new home would also be nice for the family, but that will take a little more effort.

Second, this has nothing to do with Life in Armenia, but today I heard a really kooky story (but taking into consideration that it involves some show-off Armenians from Armenia, I can sort of believe it did really happen.) Supposedly, a couple in California just got married, and seeing that the 'horse drawn carriage ride to the church' idea was a bit too tired for them, they decided to enter the banquet hall with it as well. Upon entering the hall, the "zourna" started playing which drove the horse crazy and knocked down tables and the bride to her death. The husband has since been in a coma. What the heck? Is this story for real?
