LOS ANGELES-A photo exhibition and sale, displaying the everyday
life of Armenians in Javakhk will be held on Saturday July 25 at
the Lost Souls Café in Downtown Los Angeles. (124 W. 4th Street,
Los Angeles CA, 90013).
The event's goal is to raise $6,000 to purchase two cars for the
Javakhk Armenian youth organization, which has faced difficulty in
organizing activities in Armenia over the years due to a lack of
transportation. All proceeds will be donated through the Armenian
Youth Federation's Western Region, which is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit
organization.
The youth in Javakhk have a desire to share learning experiences
with other Armenian youth in the region. Unfortunately, a lack of
transportation prohibits them from participating in summer camps,
educational opportunities, and life enhancing experiences in Yerevan
and Kharabagh.
With community participation and support, the exhibit hopes to bridge
the gap between Armenians living in Javakhk, Armenia, and Kharabakh-a
division which shouldn't exist.
The professional photos that will be displayed depict an Armenian
reality in Javakhk and provide a deeper look into the everyday lives
of the people, their tradition, labor, courage, religion and love.
