    Millard Fuller Legacy Build

    During the week of Aug. 30 to Sept. 4, Fuller Center covenant partners
    across the U.S. and around the world will build, renovate and dedicate homes
    with families in need as part of the inaugural Millard Fuller Legacy Build.
    At least 100 simple and decent houses will be built or renovated in the
    weeks and months leading up to the Legacy Build week.

    The Fuller Center For Housing Armenia takes part at this project and has
    committed to build 10 houses in the framework of that.

    In Armenia, simultaneously to events in other 9 countries and 29 cities for
    seven days, the Global Builders team and all the volunteers will be building
    with Martirosyan family in Haytagh village, Armavir region. The week will be
    finalized by a home blessing ceremony at the Ararat region Khor Virap
    village.

    The founder of Fuller Center For Housing and Habitat for Humanity Millard
    Fuller, who has dedicated his life to eliminating housing poverty from the
    face of the earth, has left this world for a better place in February. The
    100-house build is now in celebration and honor of Millard Fuller's life and
    work.

    All his life Millard Fuller with his wife Linda served the idea of helping
    those in housing need, developing communities and giving opportunities to
    thousands of families all over the world to feel the happiness of being a
    homeowner.

    In Armenia, where FCH operates since 2008 and has already helped 50 families
    and hosted 10 GB teams, from August 30 to September 3 a Global Builders team
    from USA, US Embassy employees as well as Peace Corps volunteers, alumni's
    from Educational and Cultural Affairs and local community members will join
    the Fuller Legacy Build with FCH Armenia staff to help build with those in
    housing need in Armavir and Ararat regions.

    As God said the light which stayed inside the church will not be helpful to
    anyone, it will only blind, but the light must be shared, for everybody
    could hear and see God's words and affairs.

    By his style of life Millard gave an example how this light could be shared
    and how it could light up the hearts and the nations, and how that light
    could unite people from all walks of life, backgrounds and nationalities
    around a simple idea that no one, created by the image of God, deserves to
    live in shacks. The volunteers from around the world get together and join
    families and help them realize that they are a part of a great identity,
    they are not alone, and there is always someone who cares of them.


    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
