With her impending return to
Armenia, Lilit is beginning to feel some apprehension about what her future
holds, thinking a lot about life, and asking important questions. Among many tears, she opened up today to
her new friend Naira, President of the SOAR New York Chapter.
Naira learned that Lilit is very
concerned about going back to the orphanage.
She knows that the individual care, attention and love she has received
while in the US for medical treatment will not be provided to her once she
returns to this setting. For the first
time in her life, Lilit realizes that there is something good, something better
outside of the walls of the orphanage.
Lilit does not fully understand
why Ella can stay in America and why she must return to Armenia because, as she
says, she is ready to live in America herself and waiting for someone to make
this dream possible for her. She is more
motivated now to attend school, learn to read and write and do math, as well as
continue her acquisition of English which will be supported via SOAR. Lilit is hopeful that someday she can return
to the US permanently.
Please keep Lilit in your thoughts as she prepares to go back to Yerevan and undergoes another difficult transition.
