Humanitarian Project in Armenia
Seven McGill students from different fields committed themselves to the Armenian project headed by the Student Association for Medical Aid (SAMA). Putting aside their studies, they invested time and energy helping Armenian refugees and orphans fleeing Azerbaijan during the throes of inter-ethnic violence in 1988. Five among them recently returned from Armenia, after they had shipped donated medical and school supplies and leisure materials. While abroad, they established and updated a databank of eyewitness accounts of refugee living conditions. Project team members wanted to instill hope and dignity in the Armenian victims of Azerbaijan exiled to Armenia. In 1990, their numbers exceeded over half a million.
