“The ‘We Are Gyumri’ Committee was pleased with the overwhelming response to our request for designs from our youth.

The “We Are Gyumri” Campaign restructured and renovated the Shirvanian Youth Center in Gyumri, Armenia, that had been destroyed in the 1988 Spitak earthquake. With this campaign, a year-round functional program was also created at the center to teach youth in Gyumri everyday skills and provide them with the essentials they need for a brighter future.
