Camille arrived in Gyumri to volunteer with AVC with almost no ties to Armenia — and ended up finding a home. From village life to social media work, her journey led her back to Armenia for good. 🇦🇲✨

🎄Our Secret Santa tradition never gets old - mostly because of the people behind it. Wrapped up the event today, surrounded by the team that powers our mission for Armenia with heart, humor, and a whole lot of teamwork.

Host family bonds are truly special.
Kathleen, now volunteering with us for the second time, has grown incredibly close to her host mom and the grandkids, Elena and Grigor.

Goodbyes are tough — but reunions are even sweeter. ❤️

When Kathleen volunteered in Armenia in 2024, she expected a meaningful few months—not a second family. 💛
She and her host sister Anahit stayed close, eventually co-creating a children’s book across continents. 📚✨

Now Kathleen is back in Armenia, staying with the same family

What was supposed to be a short trip… ended up extending to six months!
Our volunteer, Rafael Michiels has really thrown himself into Armenian life - learning Marash embroidery, teaching traditional dances, and even playing the duduk. 🎶

🎶 Did you know?

Back in 2002, during a Yerevan city cleanup with AVC & Makur Yerevan, Mher Manukyan of the rock band Lav Eli was so inspired that he wrote the “Trashman Song” (Աղբահանի երգը)! 🧹🎸

Who knew a cleanup day could rock this hard? 🤘🇦🇲

So happy to see our 2024 alumna Arsinée Donoyan back in Armenia from Montreal! 🇨🇦✨

She brought two beautiful books she worked on - Maritimes & Gaspé and Two Kinds of People, both featuring her stunning photography. 📚💛

We’re so proud of you, Arsinée!

Congratulations to AVC alumni Yuri and Diana on their marriage! 💍💐

The two actually met through AVC - Diana volunteered in 2022–2023, and Yuri joined in 2024. What began as a shared passion for volunteering and making a difference soon turned into something much deeper. ❤️
