1) The ongoing war in Artsakh has resulted in a humanitarian crisis imperiling as many as one hundred thousand ethnic Armenians living in the region. The elements of basic safety—water, food, and shelter—are all compromised.
Anoush'ella Kitchen owners Nina and Raffi Festekjian are stepping up and pitching in to help relief efforts -- and so can you by simply ordering a $9.50 “Jingalov Haats” (flatbread wrap) for lunch, dinner or a snack. Starting today, 100% of the sales of the designated flatbread Jingalov Haats will go to www.armeniafund.org, a non-profit coordinating emergency assistance to the region, where an estimated 100 thousand Armenian men, women, and children are currently endangered. All proceeds from the sale of every Jingalov Haats will go to help.
Jingalov Haats is a traditional Armenian flatbread from Artsakh. It is stuffed with greens that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or enjoyed as a snack. Chef Nina’s version, prepared on Anoush'ella Kitchen’s homemade Saj flatbread, contains nine different types of greens; Spinach, Swiss Chard, Scallions, Parsley, Cilantro, Dill, Dandelions, and Collards. The price is $9.50.
An Armenian proverb says, “From heart to heart there is a path.” Nina and Raffi Festekjian are hoping sales of Jingalov Haats (which will continue until the current situation is resolved) will help in a small way their brethren in Artsakh survive the ongoing crisis.
