    AYF Youth Corps Participants Arrive in Armenia

    The Armenian Youth Federation Western United States Garo Madenlian Public
    Affairs Office announced that the participants of this summer's AYF Youth
    Corps program arrived in Armenia Thursday.

    The participants, will stay in Armenia and Artsakh for over a month, and

    group is working to rebuild the `Soseh' kindergarten and the Paraplegic

    year that the AYF Youth Corps program will help the rebuilding efforts at
    the kindergarten and rehabilitation center.

    The group members will also have the opportunity to meet with government
    officials, local ARF representatives, and AYF members. They will also spend
    their weekends sightseeing in Armenia and Artsakh.

    over 100 Armenian youth to Artsakh and Armenia to assist in the rebuilding
    efforts of various Armenian structures such as schools, centers, churches,
    and youth camps damaged during the war. This year marks the 10th anniversary
    of the AYF Youth Corps program.
