                  Kevork does not remember anything about his past and social connection. He cannot remember the name of his parents. He only remembers that he is an Armenian. He lived for about ten years among the Arabs in a little town near Hama.

                  He was mostly illtreated by his owner and when punished surnamed "Giaur", this remembered him always his nationality and religion. He knew very well that he was of another culture and people.              

                  Some Marash Armenians were passing by that village on business and one of them claimed to know this boy and the same night he fled with him to the Railroad Station and came to Aleppo.

                  Having no relatives he was admitted to our Reception House. 

 

 

Left our care: February 24, 1924. Relatives (Father).
