We are happy to announce that this year as well, UNHCR, together with its partners Հայաստանի սոցիալական աշխատողների ասոցիացիա / AASW, Mission Armenia and Eurasia Partnership Foundation-Armenia, will bring together a group of displaced 🖼️ artisans, 🍯farmers, 🥧bakers, 🌺florists, and craft makers to participate in the Harvest Festival: Rural Life and Traditions🍃🍑 this Saturday, 19 September, from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, in Dzoraghbyur.
We are confident that festival guests will enjoy the beautiful colours, 🌸 delightful aromas, and warm 🍂 autumn atmosphere of this wonderful event, while also having the opportunity to make purchases and support displaced entrepreneurs who are living, working and creating in their host country, 🇦🇲Armenia.
Here is the story of one of the participants, Ms. Lira Arzangulyan, a 🍵 tea-maker and 🐝beekeeper displaced from Karabakh.
Inspired by nature and the rich flora of the Armenian ⛰️Highlands, Lira began crafting natural herbal teas. This passion gave birth to a small initiative that gradually grew into both her beloved profession and a creative outlet.
Starting a new business from scratch was not easy, but she overcame the challenges and, rather than letting them break her spirit, turned them into a source of strength and inspiration.👏
Alongside her tea-making venture, Lira also embraced beekeeping. Today, she produces both natural teas and honey, using her work and love towards host community to rebuild a new life and a new future.☀️ Behind every box of tea and every jar of honey lies resilience, kindness and love. Perhaps that is precisely why her brand is called Ser ♥️Tea (Love Tea) offering pure Armenian mountain products infused with faith, hope, and love.
🎉We wish you all the success you deserve, Lira.
