Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) - North Carolina Chapter

families statewide, it is dedicated to the perpetuation of the Armenian heritage. Moreover, the North Carolina Board of Directors demonstrates that Armenian causes can be embraced by volunteers with no ethnic connection to Armenia. Dr. Henry and April Emery, Dianne Roberts, and Robin Sizemore represent SOAR’s first completely non-Armenian Chapter Board of Directors. Their travels to, and work in, Armenia have shown them that orphaned children represent the most vulnerable population of Armenian youth. We are grateful that they have selflessly adopted the Armenian culture as their own. The Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian relief to orphaned Armenian children living in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Javakh. Working with a loyal donor base and a trusted network of partners abroad, SOAR distributes much needed clothing, medicine, educational supplies, and other essential resources to orphaned Armenian children living in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh, and Javakh.
