    On July 21, 2009, The Catholicos of All Armenians His Holiness Karekin II
    blessed the launch of "Building on Faith" project implemented by Fuller
    Center for Housing Armenia: in the village Haytagh of Armavir region .

    On 16 June 2009 a partnership agreement was signed between Fuller Center for
    Housing Armenia and Armenian Apostolic Church to combine efforts to
    eliminate poverty housing in Armenia.

    Only in the context of "His Holiness Karekin II Work project" Fuller Center
    for Housing Armenia aims to build thirty-seven homes for families in housing
    need - symbolizing 36 Dioceses of the Armenian Apostolic Church together
    with the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. 20 houses in 6 regions of Armenia
    will be built thanks to generous donors of the US Eastern Diocese of the
    Armenian Church.

    "We express our gratitude to our sisters and brothers overseas for their
    contribution, for their concern about our homeland, for lending their hands
    to the poor ones here", - said His Holiness Karekin II in His speech at the
    opening ceremony.

    "Thus communities of the US Eastern Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church
    wish to express their love, devotion and concern towards their compatriots,
    living in their far away Homeland, not only by financial contributions, but
    also, as you can see, by their volunteer work, coming to Armenia and
    building with and for the homeless families," said Archbishop Khajag
    Barsamian, Primate of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America
    (Eastern) during the blessing of the project by "Fuller Center For Housing
    Armenia".

    "Fuller Center for Housing Armenia assists in building and renovating safe,
    simple, comfortable homes, with and for low-income families in Armenia. It
    is great honor for us to work side by side with Armenian Apostolic Church,
    and we share the same mission to help our people in housing need, by
    advocating the right of everyone to have a decent shelter. We get together
    around the same idea of helping these families to build at their homeland,
    to create at their homeland and to live at their homeland." said Ashot
    Yeghiazaryan, the president of Fuller Center for Housing Armenia.


    The Fuller Center for Housing Armenia is working to eliminate poverty
    housing by providing long term, interest free loans and by assisting with
    volunteers helping low-income families to build simple, comfortable,
    affordable houses and renovate their houses. For more information, please

    This year the organization aims to support 100 needy families.

    teams to fundraise and to join this build with volunteers and/or financial
    donations.
