    ABMDR Details Inside ARMENIAN BONE MARROW DONOR REGISTRY SPRING 2011 Newsletter MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT His Holiness Karekin II joins However sharp my wounds or drained of blood or orphaned, my yearning heart turns there with love. the life-saving mission of the ABMDR Every time I learn of another Armenian seeking the ABMDR’s help, these words of Charents fill me with resolve. There are hearts the world over yearning for a bone marrow transplant, turning to us to find a match. As our registry grows, my hope is that in the future we will be able to fulfill a promise for each and every one. Until that time, we will continue to fulfill the promises we have made. We promised to register 20,000 donors in our first decade. We surpassed that number. We promised to establish a Stem Cell Harvesting Center in Yerevan. We opened one of the few in the Caucasus, and in less than a year it has enabled a life-saving transplant. We promised to reach out to all Armenians worldwide. We now have a presence in 13 countries. And we have promised to save lives. We have facilitated 12 transplants. As we enter our second decade, we have more promises to make and fulfill. We promise to add 10,000 more donors to the Registry this year. We’re halfway there already!
