Oknoutyun [Assistance]
Trip to Armenia in 2009
We are planning our third Oknoutyun trip to Armenia
this Fall.
In 2007 and 2005 Amaras sponsored two vision clinics as
part of its Oknoutyun Project in Armenia. Volunteer Optometric
Services for Humanity [VOSH] members examined patients in
remote towns and villages, distributed new eye glasses and referred
patients for surgery while the non-medical volunteers distributed
educational materials, clothing, boots, coats, hat, scarves, mittens,
and shoes to children in need.
Volunteers are being recruited to distribute new clothing and
educational material to the vulnerable and the less fortunate in
remote areas during the upcoming trip. Participants will get an
incomparable overview of this ancient land by visiting museums,
excavation sites, cultural and historic places, villages, orphanages
and schools throughout Armenia. This unique opportunity offers
participants the chance to experience the less traveled regions of the
country.
Amaras is fortunate to have dedicated and experienced volunteers in
the Boston area and in Armenia to be able to sponsor programs such as
the Oknoutyun Project. This volunteer base has helped Amaras develop
high quality programs such as the Youth Music Exchange, Amaras
Internship Program and Our Young Stars. Please use the “menu” bar in the left margin to view a complete list of
our programs and projects.
The 2009 Oknoutyun trip promises to be as rewarding for the
participants as those in the past. For dates, rates, itinerary, and
further information please contact us. Space is limited.
