Ms. Sani serving up love and dental care in Armenia
In October 2015, our own Michele Sani, Assistant Head of School for Academics, and her husband Dr. Ron Sani, made their first medical mission trip to Armenia. It was the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, which made the experience particularly poignant.
“That year, we served dental patients in several regions of the country, our home base being the capital, Yerevan,” said Mrs. Sani. “Since then, Ron has made the trip every year, and I have served as his assistant twice since then.”
“In America, we have a foster system; in Armenia, there are orphanages,” Mrs. Sani explained. “For the last two years, I have assisted Ron in a clinic adjacent to a Catholic orphanage. It was created by SOAR – Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief. All treatment is free, thanks to donors from all over the world.”
