Our Mission- Our story

بنیاد فرهنگی زنده یاد آرمین شریفی

We use your tuition payments and book purchases to Build Schools and provide education support to the underprivileged children.

My 31 years old son, Armin, unexpectedly left this earthly world on August 29, 2016. From first grade through end of his second year in medical school, he was one of the top students in his class. He was very kind and very passionate about well being of the youth in 3rd world countries, specially Iran, our home country. I felt no greater sorrow than his sudden death. But as a mother, I decides to convert this huge deadly sorrow to a great work, something that Armin would appreciate. By teaching Persian (Farsi) language in USA, and selling my own Farsi textbooks geared toward children raised outside of Iran, I strive to build schools for young underprivileged kids in the world who otherwise would not have access to.

A message to Armin:

I hope you can see that Mom will not get tired of spreading your kindness and purity throughout the world.
In your remembrance and memory, I will spread the pollen’s of love flower all over the world.
You will constantly hear “I love you” loudly, from me and all the kids you have impacted by betterment of their education. I hope to rid the world of ignorance one school at a time and do my part in making a better tomorrow.
For all my life,
“I Love You Armin”.
