SERVICE Armenia & Med-Aid Armenia Run
Successful Trips This Summer!
Summer 2024 was busy with our two Paros groups running at the same time! SERVICE Armenia 2024 spent three weeks serving, touring, and playing. With a full trip, participants were able to make lots of new friends from all over the country. Through meaningful work like distributing groceries for families in Gyumri, and renovating schools, meeting refugees, and so much more, the group made a lasting impression.
Our Med-Aid group had another successful year of conducting medical checks as-well-as continuing to establish preventative care as the norm in Armenia. In addition to regular check-ups trainings were also provided to help the local medical staff continue care after our team leaves.
Thank you to everyone who made this summer such a successful one!
Artsakh Refugee Family Gets New Home
We are proud to announce that an additional Artsakh refugee family has now received permanent housing! Sedrak H., his wife and their five children have moved into their new home in the village of Geghamasar. We are proud to continue providing these families with stability to move forward.
Meds Masrik Renovation
Thanks to the generosity of our friends and partner Developmental Services for Armenia (aka Organization of Humanitarian Services for Armenia), work on renovating the computer classroom and three additional classrooms at the Meds Masrik School is moving along great! SERVICE Armenia 2024 joined for a day of service there as well, and work will be completed and ready for the start of school on September 2. Renovating these new classrooms was needed to accommodate the increased number of students at the school because of the new Artsakh families that have settled in the community.

Pari Louys With Paros Podcast
Armenia’s border villages serve as a buffer between the country and most of the time it’s not-so-friendly neighbors. Life can be particularly difficult in this region, but with a vibrant border, Armenia is much stronger. That is why Jean-Marie Atamian and his family have set out to improve the prosperity on the border.
