An occasion to reflect on the importance of helping vulnerable people in need. Therefore, we bring you the great story about Marzpet from Armenia who learned how to speak with just a gentle push from Mission East and his own impressive effort.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Words. They float mindlessly out of most people&#8217;s mouths like a waterfall flowing down a cliff. But this is not the case for everyone.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is the story of a boy who has never said a word to a human before. Until he found his voice.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On top of a mountain in the village of Haghartsin in Tavush Marz &#8211; in north-east of Armenia, 9-year-old Marzpet lives in a humble hut with his parents. Far from all civilization. The only acquaintances Marzpet has, apart from his parents, are the family&#8217;s animals: cows, horses and chickens. Until recently, Marzpet had only opened his mouth to the animals, who were thus the only witnesses to his voice.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our partner organization @Bridge of Hope, which works with children with disabilities in the most remote areas, became aware of Marzpet and arranged for him to get a place in a primary school in the nearest village.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>It began with one word<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When he first entered the schoolyard, he was incredibly shy, and here too he didn&#8217;t talk to anyone. But then one day it happened! With Marzpet&#8217;s own efforts and encouragement from BoH, the first word was directed at a human being. Then came the next, and then the next. This is a big step for Marzpet, who is now adapting to a new environment and learning to communicate for the first time.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">His linguistic development is a clear proof of what you can achieve with a strong will, the right support, education and human relationships.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Congratulations on your voice, Marzpet!
