Welcome to the Tufenkian Foundation

LOS ANGELES - It was an evening both festive and sober on Thursday, Sept. 15 as a diverse group of LA Armenians came together on behalf of the Yerevan-based Women's Support Center (WSC), which seeks to establish shelters that protect women suffering from domestic violence. Co-sponsored by the Tufenkian Foundation, Armenian International Women's Association (AIWA), and USAID, the WSC reached out recently to various groups and individuals in Los Angeles, who came together to offer resounding support through a fundraising

reception, held in Atwater Village at the attractive residence of Dr. Avo Tavitian. The

WSC Los Angeles Committee

reception was co-organized 

by the Armenian Bar Association, Armenian-American Medical Organization, Armenian Dentists' Association, Armenian Youth Federation, AGBU Hye Geen, Organization of Instanbul Armenians and GALAS. The result was a diverse mix of over 150 activists, professionals, supporters, and journalists who learned about Armenia's problems with domestic violence, and what can be done about it. read more >>
