It’s me again!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Edele Hovnanian, President of LCO. She had come to Montreal to hold an awareness and a recruitment presentation. In the past years there have been very little Canadian-Armenians who have taken part in this organization’s activities. Since I had been to Armenia and Karabagh twice with LCO and got so much out of it, I feel that I need to encourage other young Canadian-Armenians (as well as American, European, Australian, Latin American… ) to experience the one month LCO campaign.
Anyhow, Edele was so vibrant and dynamic that she got everyone motivated. There were some non-Armenians who attended the presentation as well. I think this is very good, because we have focused on only those with Armenian origins for too long. Armenia should be made known to everyone, not just those who have Armenian parents and/or grandparents.
So, if you or someone you know thinks that they might be interested in knowing more about life in Armenia (Yerevan and the villages) I highly encourage you to give LCO a try. It’s more than just tourism!

BTW, that’s where I met Raffi K. and Madlene. They now live in Armenia…
