    On May 3, 2006, in the context of "Catholicos Karekin II Work
    Project: An Armenian Building on Faith" project in the Gegharkunik
    region Gavar city took place the opening ceremony of building.

    " The partnership with HFH Armenia and also being the first to
    implement such a great project is much responsible for us, - said
    Gurgen Martirosyan, the mayor of Gavar city,- We will do our best in
    the mission of eliminating poverty housing in our community".

    The construction of this building was stopped in 1993 because of the
    huge grade the country was exposed. Now the city administration gave
    the building to the families selected by HFH Armenia to be homeowner.
    Twenty four families in housing need in Gavar came together to build
    their house, the house of unity, the house symbolizing the great
    kindness of human being.

    The beginning of building in Gavar city opened with blessing of Very
    Rev. father Markos Hovhannesyan Vicar of the Gegharkunik dioceses.
    "Let your hearts be filled with love to energize you during the whole
    building process, and let this love pass to every generations, that
    will live in this building"- said Very Rev. Father during the
    blessing.

    The first construction works of "Catholicos Karekin II Work Project:
    An Armenian Building on Faith Project" were launched.

    The annual home-building event will take place in Sept. 5-9, 2006.
    Thirty-seven homes will be built with families in need - symbolizing
    36 worldwide Dioceses, plus the Holy See, representing the Catholicos
    of all Armenians - near the Armenian capital city, Yerevan. Armenian
    churches are encouraged to galvanize teams to fundraise and to join
    the build.
