ARTIMET, JULY 26, ARMENPRESS: Twenty-four young people (16-20
years old) from the Canadian Armenian Youth Mission headed by the
leader of the Canadian Diocese of the Armenian Church Archbishop
Bagrat Galstian arrived in Armenia with a charity mission and
launched the reconstruction of St Astvatsatsin (Virgin) church built
in 1876 in Artimet village, Armavir province. The volunteers of the
program organized a camp for 60 children from socially unsecured
families of the village Aratashen and after their work they join the
kids.
Archbishop said the funds spent on the implementation of the
charity program are provided by the Canadian Armenian community. The
volunteers arrived in Armenia for a month and are hosted by the local
farmers.
