Children to receive presents this week
"Armenian children will receive presents from foreign benefactors starting this week," Levon Partagchian, President of "Christian Cultural International Services" NGO told A1+.
On May 14, the RA Government's charity program coordination commission nullified the program "Presidents for Armenian Children" arguing that the Evangelical Church was engaged in "hunting for souls" under the guise of charity.
With the demand of the RA government, the church paid $ 21000 to have the goods cleared through customs.
About 1,5 million children have received presents in 15 years. 130.000 boxes of presents were distributed in 2009.
