This One is for Sose and Allen
Two days ago we took a break from our hectic touring schedule to attend a unique event, a memorial tree planting for Sose and Allen at Siraharneroo Aykee (Lover's Park).
Inspiration and Motivation
Three months ago, I made the decision to apply to the AYF Youth Corps program. One week later, my life completely changed. My best friend was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkins lymphoma cancer.
The Future is Bright
Mayr Hayasdan is a symbol of pride towering over the city of Yerevan. The tanks and military planes, as well as the pictures of war heroes in the museum, remind Armenians that we have a reason to be proud of our men and women who have given their lives to protect our homeland.
Best Experience So Far...
Although I'm only four days into the program, I'm amazed at how much I've come to love and learn about Armenia. It's my third time here and I'm surprised by how much I have yet to learn about the country and It's ancient history.
Can't Wait to Start!
I've been to Armenia once before, but as a tourist. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to experience my homeland in such a unique and memorable way.
An Amazing First Day
This is my first time in Armenia and I've been here for two weeks already. I met my fellow AYF Youth Corps participants today, and I felt a connection with them right away. We met early in the morning and quickly put our bags down to head to Garni and Geghard.
My 2013 Future Leaders Program Experience
I don’t even know where to start when describing my internship experience during these past two months. The time spent interning at the AYF Office as part of the Future Leader’s Program has been a roller-coaster adventure that broadened my horizons from working solely in my local chapter to experiencing how the organization is run regionally and worldwide....
Barev Yerkir
I love Armenia. I love everything about it. The cute old women selling apricots at the corner of the street, the Soviet style buildings that managed to survive despite all of the development around it, the fact that it is so beautiful that no picture I take will do it any justice, and especially the fact that I am staring at Mt. Ararat as I write this blog.
Eternal Memories from AYF Tri-Regional Seminar
What I assumed to be just another weekend getaway with AYF members at AYF Camp, ended up being a once in a lifetime experience. This weekend wasn’t at all ordinary, but instead a weekend that molded and shaped my understanding of our cause and where we stand, today. It’s safe to say that the weekend of June 6th-9th of 2013 became a life changing experience for me, as well as for my fellow ungers across North America.
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
The AYF Youth Corps program has a long and distinguished story that began in 1994, following the Bishkek protocol that set up a ceasefire in Artsakh. The purpose was to take direct aid to the newly liberated villages and help repair the damage of years of war.
