Several times during my lifetime, opportunities opened up to me and in some cases I followed my intuition, sometimes taking a chance on something that was not fully tested.

The Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC) was born in 2001 when they had their first group of volunteers. I asked friends of mine about the founders and got positive reports and decided to join.
Best wishes to all of you.

Inspired by their successful volunteering experience, Antoine Terjanian and his wife Sheila, who also volunteered with AVC, promptly sought more long-term and sustainable opportunities to contribute to Armenia’s development. They decided to spend half the year in Armenia and chose the beautiful town of Yeghegnadzor as their new home-away-from-home. In the ensuing years, they have helped develop a B&B network that they oversee, providing training and guidance to the hosts. We can attest that he B&B accommodations are excellent as are the meals and personal attention of the hosts, having used their services during our very first Southern Discovery trip in 2015 — and we plan to stay there again in 2016!
