    At the Avetisyan home in the village of Ujan.

    Yerevan - On August 11 Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan staff members
    joined Fuller Center for Housing Armenia team in Aragatsotn region,
    the village of Ujan helping the Avetisyan family of 4: building more
    than a home, building hope, building a better future.

    It was winter of 2011... the sight inside the house was miserable-
    bare, grey walls, a room with an oven in the centre, two beds, a table
    and a few chairs. It's pointless even to speak about sanitary
    conditions, no bathroom...But it was much more painful to learn that
    even this one room with miserable conditions wasn't their own. The
    mother of the family, Larissa said that one of the villagers had given
    them the room temporally to live till they could build the house of
    their own. And for a very long time the family has been living with
    the fear that one day they will be left even without that one room...

    For Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan this already Annual Corporate Build
    day has become a great team building opportunity, a good way of
    maintaining strong employee environment and giving back to their
    community - helping to eliminate poverty housing in Armenia.

    "Every year we are all looking for this great opportunity to put our
    efforts in helping families in need. This is really a wonderful way of
    not only helping but seeing the results of it on the happy faces of
    the family members" said the general manager of the Armenia Marriott
    Hotel Yerevan Ami Miron.

    "It has become a kind of dream to have a place to call HOME, where
    nobody can ever tell us to leave", said 12 year old family member
    Anie. We can proudly say that thanks to our supporters very soon the
    family will move to their new, decent home and the lovely girl will
    forever forget that fear.
