Spring really is a busy time of year here in Armenia!

AVC volunteers have been volunteering—but not only at placement sites.

During the month of April AVC volunteers dug holes, planted trees, swabbed mouths, and de-petaled flowers.

On Saturday, April 17, AVC volunteers and Birthright Armenia participants and staff traveled to Yeghegnadzor in the Vayots Dzor region where they joined the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets in Republic of Armenia (FPWC) in planting trees at School Number 1 for Earth Day.

Spring Quotes

This was a great experience. Without a doubt, it is now part of my life and who I am.
Brandon Norsesian (2009)

Volunteering in Armenia made me connect with the Homeland on a deeper level. Sure, it's great doing the touristy stuff, speaking the language, enjoying the scenery, the food.. [but] lending a hand - no matter how small ... might not have seemed like much at the time, but it certainly aided me in realizing my place in all of this, and how I could possibly fit in.
Nareg Seferian (2002)

I was able to live and work in Armenia for one and a half years...I am a better man and a better Armenian.
Karl Armen Boudjikanian (2008)
