Project: An Armenian Building on Faith" project in the Gegharkunik
region Gavar city took place the opening ceremony of building.
" The partnership with HFH Armenia and also being the first to
implement such a great project is much responsible for us, - said

the mission of eliminating poverty housing in our community".
The construction of this building was stopped in 1993 because of the
huge grade the country was exposed. Now the city administration gave
the building to the families selected by HFH Armenia to be homeowner.

their house, the house of unity, the house symbolizing the great
kindness of human being.
The beginning of building in Gavar city opened with blessing of Very
Rev. father Markos Hovhannesyan Vicar of the Gegharkunik dioceses.
"Let your hearts be filled with love to energize you during the whole
building process, and let this love pass to every generations, that
will live in this building"- said Very Rev. Father during the
blessing.
