Armenia is in the hands of our youth. Our ancient past, our turbulent history, our troubled present, our future as a nation and a people no matter where we Armenians live will be preserved, remembered and brought to its next stage by our youth. The young of the Diaspora must make a pilgrimage of some kind to Armenia to make our homeland a part of their very being. Encourage all to visit Armenia. Go as a family, but better yet, go on a volunteer mission. There are wonderful programs that our youth as well as our families, our seniors – ASP, Fuller Center for Housing Armenia, Birthright Armenia, and more. –Barbara Hovsepian via http://easterndiocese.posterous.com/request
