@koavf how sad. hope peace comes to the region soon & that democracy is restored. 🙏🏾
@singlemaltgirl Agreed. I know there are a number of charities that work with the Armenian population, but I have no idea if any aid is actually getting to the intended recipients in the past several months.
@singlemaltgirl Save the Children had been working there _I think_ and they are a very well-regarded charity: https://www.savethechildren.org/us/charity-stories/nagorno-karabakh-conflict-azerbaijan-armenia As North Americans who try to be conscious of our privilege, at the very least, I hope this encourages us to do something good where we can in our homelands and be appreciative of what we have. Even when we cannot actually solve these problems, we can change what we can change. <3
