The boy from the orphanage is now: |

Vartan Melkonian conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He has come a long way from the slums of Beirut |
"You too can make a difference to a child's life".
"When I was at the orphanage, a woman, Mrs Patterson, sponsored me. Many years later, I wanted to thank her personally for her kindness, but sadly, before I was able to do that, she departed to heaven - but I know that she knows that her dream is continuing on..." Join us in our Child Sponsorship Programme and you will experience an altogether different kind of joy |
