This is an anthology of memoirs and studies in the biography of the Honored Pedagogue of Armenia, Rima Khachatryan, a daughter of an émigré – Siranush Martirosyan, who escaped from the Armenian Genocide and found shelter in the orphanage of the Near East Relief, was educated there, and got the best possible start in life through learning and developmental support.
