Embassy of Armenia Marks a Milestone in Habitat for Humanity Armenia Program
On June 16, 2005, Embassy of Armenia hosted a reception to honor an
important milestone in the Habitat for Humanity Armenia program, the
construction of the 100th house in Armenia. Through the work of this
organization in Armenia, which involved efforts by 100 local volunteers,
almost 600 people in Armenia have been provided housing.
In his welcome address during the reception, Ambassador of Armenia to the
U.S., Tatoul Markarian praised the Habitat for Humanity for its humanitarian
spirit, which is manifested through enabling vulnerable people all over the
world to acquire a home. The spirit of charity practiced by the Habitat of
Humanity, the Ambassador said, is an excellent example of Christian faith in
action, which sows seeds of goodness and is rewarding both to the recipients
of such assistance and those who volunteer and provide support to the
program. At the same time, Ambassador Markarian noted, the Habitat for
Humanity Armenia program contributes to alleviating poverty in Armenia,
which is also a strategic objective for the Government of Armenia. Poverty
reduction has direct relevance for success of democratic, economic, and
social reforms in Armenia, the Ambassador added.
