ANNOUNCEMENT: 'TEBI JAVAKHK'
Armenian Weekly
June 6, 2012
The AYF-YOARF Central Executive is proud to announce a new project
this year called "Tebi Javakhk."
During the 2011 AYF-YOARF Convention, a decision was made to focus
the AYF's efforts on a city within Historic Armenia or the Armenian
Diaspora. The purpose of this effort was to educate AYF members on the
current conditions of the city, provide assistance to the Armenians
living there, and establish communication between our youth and
the youth living there. Javakhk was chosen this year because of the
difficult living conditions created by the discriminatory policies
of the Georgian government.
Since January, the Central Executive has been educating local chapters
on Javakhk and working with them to develop fundraising and material
collection projects. In the meantime, the AYF's Central Hai Tahd
Committee has been working on an effort to establish communication
between the youth of the two regions. The result of CHTC's efforts
is a Day Camp for the youth of Javakhk to be run by counselors from
the AYF-YOARF Eastern Region.
During the months of July and August, there will be two separate day
camps, one in Akhalkalak and one in Akhaltsukha. These camps will be
open to 50 children each, ages 5-16. The camp program will include
educationals, games, and activities of all kinds, and of course a
hantes (performance) for the friends and families of the participants.
Local AYF-YOARF Eastern Region members are eager to be a part of this
project and to, per the project's name, "put their boots on the ground"
in Javakhk.
Additional information on the Tebi Javakhk project will be released
in the next few weeks, particularly information on how local Armenian
community members can help. For more information, contact the AYF
Central Hai Tahd Committee at [email protected] or on Facebook at "Tebi
Javakhk" (http://www.facebook.com/TebiJavakhk).
