    The Ambassador of the United States of America in Armenia joined Fuller
    Center for Housing Armenia in Haytagh community; Armavir region

    On March 26, 2010 the US Ambassador of in Armenia Mari Yovanovich, the
    President of Diplomatic Spouses Association Nani Oskanian, as well as
    Governor of Armavir marz Ashot Ghahramanyan and the member of the National
    Assembly of Armenia Hrant Grigoryan joined Fuller Center for Housing Armenia
    to participate in the homeblessing ceremony of Arshakyans in Haytagh
    village, Armavir marz.

    In July 2008 Ambassador Mari Yovanovich joined the family of Arshakyans as a
    volunteer to help with floor concrete works along with US Embassy staff
    members and Global Builders team of Fuller Center for Housing.

    Today after ten years of housing need Arshakyans moved to their newly built
    house and were willing to share their happiness with those, who supported
    them on the difficult way of fighting of the homelessness.

    During just two years of activities the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia
    brought happiness to 84 families by helping them to get a home. Another 40
    families will become homeowners during the current year, as their homes are
    under construction.

    "What is special about this project is the combination of volunteerism, and
    what that means is that, when we work together we can solve any problem. I
    think all of us will agree that the housing is the basic need, many of us
    would say, it is the basic right": said the Ambassador during the
    construction day.

    Having a house is a basic right and helping those in housing need is basic
    responsibility of each of us. On March 26 Arshakyan family celebrated
    house-warming and started a new life in their long-awaited home. They
    started this new life thanks to donors and which is not less important
    thanks to volunteers like Mari Yovanovich, Nani Oskanyan and many others
    who came and share with them their joy.


    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, sustainable,
    affordable houses and renovate their houses. For more information, please

    This year the organization aims to support 100 families.
