YEREVAN, JUNE 22, ARMENPRESS: The US embassy in Yerevan said on June 21, 2005 U.S. Ambassador John Evans and approximately fifteen volunteers from the U.S. Embassy joined Habitat for Humanity in a project to build a home in the village of Mayakovski in the Kotayk region.
Through this project, volunteers from the U.S. Embassy, along with a group of international volunteers, helped construct the first ever home for the Avagyan family. The project took place concurrently with the Jimmy Carter Work Project, during which former president Jimmy Carter partnered with Habitat for Humanity and the Catholicos and Supreme Patriarch of All Armenians Hi Holiness Karekin II to construct a series of homes in the U.S. state of Michigan.
Founded in 1976, Habitat for Humanity International is a non-denominational Christian, non-governmental, non-profit housing organization that has helped more than 1,000,000 people of all races, religions, and backgrounds to have simple, decent, and affordable places to live.
