Aid To Armenia

Aid to Armenia has come to an end for this summer season. Thank you again to all the volunteers that helped this summer! Melina, Garine, Alec and Gayane, We couldn't have done it without you! Special thank you to World Vision, Gayane from the city of Talin for being our cheerful translator and coordinator, Samuel for being our wonderful driver and Talene for being our lead volunteer and keeping things moving. Oh, and thank you to Levon for coming out on the last day of training! Hope you enjoyed the program!
Thank you to our founder Jamie and to all who follow our page and donate!
We hope to continue teaching first aid classes in the future. Cheers!

This summer is flying by but our volunteers are as busy as ever! In the last couple weeks, we've welcomed Gayane as a new Gyumri instructor who will help Alec with classes. Talene has moved back to Yerevan and will continue classes from there. We had a visit from Garine's family and on a separate occassion, taught a class full of nurses (mostly review for them).
And all the while, meeting new friends along the way. Keep up the good work, guys!

Alec training mothers in first aid at the Amasia kindergarten. Even the principal participated!

This past week our volunteers, Talene and Melina, through Birthright Armenia, went on their first solo teaching excursion to the village of Ashnak. They taught local mothers general first aid and choking safety. A blood pressure machine was also given to the nurses to use at this outpost. As you can see, they had to compare it with their techniques. It was a great experience!
