resident of the Khor Virab village, was full of people
today. On the initiative of the NGOs `Armenian
Habitat’ and `Association of Armenian Young Women’ and
with the help of several journalists Manvel
Haroutyunyan will continue the construction of his
house. The first stone was put in the foundation in
1999, but the house has not been finished yet.
`Twelve people lived in the same house. We wanted to
build another, so that we could live separately. And
as I couldn’t built the house alone, I turned to the
NGOs for help,’ tells Manvel Haroutyunyan. He has been
allotted 1 million 800 thousand AMD in order to finish
the construction of the house.
This is the third house built in Khor Virab by the
financing of the Habitat. On the whole the
organization has built 149 houses.
The guests from the capital helped Manvel Haroutyunyan
to carry sand to the roof. By the way, the majority of
the guests were women.
