helping to construct a home for the Muradyan family
YERVANDASHAT, Armenia--A long-waited housewarming was celebrated in the
village of Yervandashat. The second family is also close to the
realization of its dream. VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian,
volunteer staff members, Fuller Center for Housing Armenia team and
the Global Builders volunteer team from the USA joined forces to help
the Muradyan family complete the construction of their half-built
home. The construction of one family's house was followed by another
family's, the Ghazaryans' home blessing ceremony.
''We are grateful to you for always standing firm next to the families
keeping the country borders. There is no greater happiness than to
acknowledge that you are not alone, that there are caring people next
to you who have willingly helped to finish the construction of the
long-waited house. Soon we will also move to our new and comfortable
home. We are very glad that today one of our villager's already
completed house is going to be blessed,'' said the Muradyan family
father, Hakob.
It is already 64 years the Muradyans have been living in Yervandashat.
Their large family have lived in a building that used to serve as a
kindergarten and needed renovation. As the political and economic
situation in the country worsened their dream of having their own home
remained unaccomplished. In 2005 they started the construction of the
new house but were unable to finish it.
A happy family in front of their new home
The Ghazaryans, who were already celebrating a home blessing, have
tried to build their own house for 25 years. They have put the stone
on the stone, but have been unable finish the construction due to the
lack of financial means. The family has lived in a half-built house
for 15 years without basic necessities. Finally, all the difficulties
are left behind.
Today the housing project implemented through the financial investment
of VivaCell-MTS has given its first result. The first achievement of
the project launched a few months ago in this region was marked
through a home blessing ceremony.
"Words can't describe the happiness we feel today. We have longed for
this day, we have worked very hard to one day have a home of our own,
we have dreamed so long that one day our sons would have a strong roof
over their heads, but we couldn't... We express our gratefulness to
VivaCell-MTS and the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia for being next
to the people living on the border and sharing our infinite happiness
by being present in our home-blessing ceremony,'' the Ghazaryan family
mother, Mrs. Gohar, expressed her gratefulness.
"Every single stone here was laid with love and that love carries a
belief in bright future. It is particularly important that the
villagers living in the borderland villages feel that they are not
alone when facing hardships and that people from various organizations
have united to help their families stand solidly on the soil of the
Homeland. That feeling is the warranty for success,'' said
VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.
A blessing for the Ghazaryan family's home
"The home for an Armenian is not just a place to live in. It's the
soul of the family, the warranty and the cornerstone of the secure and
decent life. The project implemented in the borderline villages of
Armenia through the financial investment of VivaCell-MTS is aimed at
creating decent conditions for each family that will give them an
opportunity to live, work and create on their own land in their own
homes and to have a base and warranty for future happy life,'' said
Fuller Center for Housing Armenia president, Ashot Yeghiazaryan.
To remind, VivaCell-MTS has invested 55 million dram for the housing
project in the borderland villages of Armenia and Fuller Center for
Housing Armenia has undertaken the implementation of the project.
Thanks to this partnership 25 families from borderland villages of
Armenia will enjoy the happiness of living in their decent homes by
the end of the year.
