Typical Duration of Program: 1-2 weeks

Description: Voluneers come to Armenia and build with local low-income families, mostly in rural areas. The trip also includes sightseeing.

Highlights: Volunteerism and mutual help are key concepts in the work of Fuller Center for Housing. The local community and groups of international volunteers, act as active supporters to our homeowners building their houses. The construction sites, where the international volunteers and locals build shoulder to shoulder, with the spirit of friendship and unity, sharing the same enthusiasm and emotions, become a non-formal platform of interaction between the guests and the local community. This program helps strengthen the cultural and spiritual bridge between the local and international communities, demonstrating the love of Christ in action.
