YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, NOYAN TAPAN. Within the framework of the
"Catholicos Karekin II Work Project – Armenian Build on Faith"
construction program, the Habitat Armenia organization will finish
this construction of 37 houses which will symbolize the Mother
See of the Armenian Apostolic Church with its 36 dioceses. Noyan
Tapan was informed about it by the Habitan Armenia Public Relations
Department. Within the framework of the "Armenian Build on Faith"
project, a series of international volunteers will participate
on September 4-9 in the final stage of construction works of a
24-apartment building in Gavar.
Karekin II Catholicos of All Armenians will participate in the opening
ceremony of the event. Start of volunteer works will be announced
by the blessing of His Holiness on September 4, during the opening
ceremony of the project in the "Armenia Marriott" hotel. On the next
day, September 5, works will start in the city of Gavar where all
international and local volunteers will join to beneficiary families
of Armenian Habitat to bring to end construction of the latters’
flats. The house blessing and opening ceremony of the building will
take place on September 9. "Catholicos Karekin II Work Project –
Armenian Build on Faith" construction program was created this April
20, based on a Memorandum of Understanding signed at the Mother See
of Holy Etchmiadzin between International Habitat and the Armenian
Apostolic Church. Under leadership of Karekin II, the Armenian
Apostolic Church was for the first time involved in the Habitat
activity in 2005, within the framework of the Jimmy Carter Work
Project in the U.S. state of Michigan. And the cooperation between
the Armenian Apostolic Church and International Habitat was stated
just during that period of time. The Armenian Habitat organization
started functioning in 2000. It has built 209 houses by now, for more
than 1000 needy people.
