Armenian American Occupational Therapist from New York, Alissa Bonjuklian, was recently in Armenia for two weeks working with injured servicemen from the recent Artsakh War at the, Gratsia International Rehabilitation Center.

Working alongside Alissa as an Occupational Therapy Aide was Talin Mirzaei, Armenian American student from Los Angeles, California. 

Together Alissa and Talin, both members of the Armenian American Sports Medicine Coalition (AASMC), formed a powerful team and were pleased with their primary objective to teach, train and learn various physical rehabilitation techniques with the specialists in Armenia.

Alissa was so humbled by her experience that she reflected on most of her days in an online blog, which you can read here: https://alissaot.medium.com/.
