Diabetes is a lifelong disease with no cure. That’s why Randi Traison and her family has committed to partnering with Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), the leader in diabetes research.
In 2004, they created a JDRF Walk team, TEAM TRAISON. Every year, they solicit friends and family to help raise money for diabetes research. While a cure might be a long time off, everyday JDRF is finding and funding technological advances to make living with Type 1 diabetes easier.  Randi has become a Youth Ambassador for JDRF and has been called on to speak at various events for them.

Mercy Education Project

April 6, 2015

Mercy Education Project

In the shadow of downtown Detroit, near the old Tiger Stadium site, an amazing program is giving women and girls from adverse backgrounds a real chance for economic success.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Mercy Education Project? Chosen as Crain’s Best Managed Nonprofit in 2013, MEP works with 300 girls and women each year in afterschool tutoring and GED classes to assure they have a real chance at college and careers.

Started by the Sisters of Mercy, MEP is a small organization that manages great outcomes with limited resources. Chief among those resources are 10,000 hours of donated volunteer assistance. I serve on the MEP Board, so I know firsthand how eager the students are to learn, how well run the program is, and how satisfying it is to see a young girl grow in academic skills and self-esteem.

The annual Doorway to the Future Dinner is the premier MEP annual fundraiser. The 9thAnnual Doorway to the Future Dinner will be held at Cobo Center in Detroit on April 16th. Income from the dinner provides about 15% of MEP’s total budget.

Armenian Music Preservation Project

April 6, 2015

Armenian Music Preservation Project

AMP (Armenian Music Preservation) is a project that collects and makes available information about Western Armenian folk music as it’s played in the United States. Many Armenian-Americans have grown up with and loved the sounds of the oud, dumbeg, clarinet, violin, and kanoun brought here from the Old Country 100 years ago. Some call it “kef music,” others call it “traditional,” and some just call it “Armenian music.”

Hope Dies Last

April 5, 2015

The video above was put together by Andonian to show a sampling of her work to commemorate Armenian Genocide through art.

Back in 1989, one year after a massive earthquake in Armenia killed tens of thousands of people, Detroit photographer Michelle Andonian ventured to that nation, the home of her ancestors.

While talking to the archbishop, Paren Avedikian, he told of a sad tale of a man who survived the earthquake, but lost so much: His entire family and his home, not to mention both his legs.

How on earth, the archbishop asked the man, could he go on in life after losing so much, to which the man replied: “Hope dies last.” (Read more at deadlinedetroit.com)
