Our Roots in Nerkin Karmir Aghbyur project is growing, literally! 🍒�

Students recently gathered cherries from the orchard, turning their harvest into dried cherries that are now enjoyed as part of their school nutrition lunches.

This project is more than an orchard; it’s a living classroom where children learn, grow, and benefit from the fruits of their own work.

Your support helps keep this program growing and provides children with hands-on learning and nutritious opportunities. Help us continue planting roots for the future.

Guess where Peter Abajian is headed…

It’s time for Armenia Summer 2026, multiple groups including Med-Aid and SERVICE Armenia, project visits, meetings and so much more!

The summer is always a lively time and we look forward to all that we can accomplish this next few months!

Wondering what the difference is between SERVICE Armenia and SERVICE Armenia Young Professionals? 🇦🇲

Both trips offer meaningful service, cultural connection, and unforgettable experiences in Armenia.

The biggest differences are the age group and timing of the programs.

SERVICE Armenia is designed for younger participants, while SERVICE Armenia Young Professionals is geared toward young adults looking to connect with peers in a similar stage of life.

Space is available on both trips! No matter which trip works for you, both are incredible opportunities to make an impact, build friendships, and experience Armenia in a deeper way.

Sari G*t, in Nerkin Karmir Aghbyur, was able to expand its production and distribution, grow its staff, and purchase more local milk from nearby dairy farmers thanks to the generous support of Jean-Marie & Lori Atamian.

This investment created a meaningful economic boost for the village, supporting local families and strengthening the community’s long-term sustainability.

Thank you to the Atamian Family for their donation!
