Earthquake Relief Campaign

In 1988, Armenia was hit by a devastating earthquake. Naturally those in the diaspora sought ways to help those impacted by the earthquake, but the needs were so great it was hard to know where to start. That was until one young girl from Jrashen Village came to Massachusetts for treatment and sparked an idea of how to help. Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian discusses the development of this fundraiser to link Jrashen with its namesake Watertown.
