🇦🇲❤️🇺🇸 From an English classroom to a beautiful friendship.
AMVN volunteer teacher Flora came all the way from the USA to Armenia—and while visiting, she made a special trip to Ijevan to meet her students from the YSUIB.
Flora is an Armenian-American who has chosen to make a difference in the lives of people in Armenia, one lesson and one connection at a time. What began as six months of learning English became something much more meaningful: friendship, laughter, and memories to cherish.
As her students shared:
“Six months ago, we started our English journey with a wonderful volunteer instructor, and now, after finishing the course, we had the most special opportunity to meet in person.
Our instructor came all the way to Armenia and offered to meet us, which truly touched us. What a wonderful experience it was to finally spend time together beyond the lessons!
We walked around, talked a lot, sang even more, pet almost every dog we came across, laughed, and simply enjoyed every moment together.
Six months of learning turned into a beautiful friendship and memories we will always cherish. Thank you for coming to Armenia and making this experience even more special!”
This is what volunteerism is all about: building bridges, creating connections, and making a difference that goes far beyond the classroom. 🌎✨
Thank you, Flora, for bringing your time, heart, and love for Armenia to Ijevan. And thank you to our wonderful students for showing us how learning can grow into lifelong friendship. ❤️
