    Three Families' Realized Dream through
    VivaCell-MTS & Fuller Center for Housing Armenia Partnership



    1 OCTOBER, 2014, YERVANDASHAT VILLAGE, ARMENIA: The best evaluation of
    the partnership between VivaCell-MTS & Fuller Center for Housing Armenia
    launched at the beginning of the year is the families'
    happiness.VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian, staff members from
    the company and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia team visited Yervandashat
    village to share with three families theirlong-waited happiness.

    Three more families from the borderland village of Yervandashatmeetautumn
    happily and proudly without having to worrythat it will leak from the roof
    during rainy weather or there will be necessity of burning fire for having
    hot water. The sad memories of damp walls, the moldy ceiling and the wind
    time whistling windows are already in the past.

    `'A few months ago there wasn't even hope that the
    summer would be so
    productive and the cherished dream of mine, my family and my fellow
    villagers would come into true. I'm very thankful to the project that helps
    not only build homes but also lives, not only walls but also hope, not
    onlyroof but also belief in future,'' shared VaruzhanAvagyan, whose family
    has been living with his parents and brother's extended family for
    many
    years without basic necessities.

    At five-month period six houses were renovated and two half-constructed
    houses built in the village of Yervanadashat through this project.

    `'Entering new home is symbolizing the birth of a new beginning in the
    family life - renewed hopes, new aspirations, new plans, weaved with love
    and from love, leaving all misfortunes, frustrations in the past. It's
    becoming especially important in the borderland. By renewing the hopes of
    our compatriots living on the very edge, we all put vital strength into
    them, make them feel stronger, and by that we restate our declared mission
    and national objective out loud - our fathers lived in this country, we
    live in this country, and afterwards, our children will be living in this
    country, our common descent home Armenia. Every stone that we put on the
    stone, adds to the vital powers of our souls, our joint national spirit. We
    will stand firm on this sacred soil, forever, we must, and this is our
    message to everyone in the country and outside it,'' said VivaCell-MTS
    General Manager Ralph Yirikian.

    `'Our partnership with VivaCell-MTS is very productive and
    now we are the
    eyewitnesses of the results. By the end of the year 25 families from four
    borderland villages of Armenia will live in their decent homes.The project
    helps our compatriots living on the border feel that they are not alone on
    the border, that even the wallsof the home help be stronger and it is safe
    when the walls of that home are solid,'' said AshotYeghiazaryan, Fuller
    Center for Housing Armenia President.

    in the borderland villages of Armenia and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia
