My story

The Harutyunyan family comes from Alashkert and consists of 5 people; parents and 3 minor children. The father of the family, Arsen, 53 years old, does not have a permanent job, he is engaged in farming to earn some money, but this work is seasonal. This work is difficult for him, because he suffers from herinas in the spine, and one of them has had an operation performed, but there are still two herinas, so he cannot do heavy work. They have their own land, it's a small piece of land next to their house where they grow vegetables for their own use. The mother of the family is called Karine and she is 41 years old. Karine is a housewife, she takes care of the children and sometimes she helps her husband and works for money on other people's land. Karine also has a herniated disc, but she didn't have surgery. Three children grow up in the family, all of whom are minors. Gayane is the eldest child of the family. Gayane is 15 years old and she is studying in the 9th grade of Alashkert High School. She is making great progress, she is trying to master each subject well, because in the future, if the financial situation allows, she wants to pursue higher education and become a graphic designer. Svetlana is 11 years old and she is the middle child in the family. She is in the 5th grade of the Alashkert school and is making good progress. After school, she attends free national singing and dancing, English and math groups. She dreams of becoming a dancer in the future and even spends her free time dancing and painting at home.
