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.
