HFH Armenia Exhibition, The Club, Yerevan
Gyumri, Shirak Region, Republic of Armenia © Onnik Krikorian / Oneworld Multimedia 2005
As of today, Habitat for Humanity are exhibiting some of my photographs for the next 2 weeks at Yerevan’s The Club. The photographs were recently exhibited at an event to launch the Catholicos Karekin II Work Project which Zarchka blogged about here.
Half constructed buildings, volunteers of all ages with tools in their hands, faces of an extended family members full of hope to live in normal shelters, smiles of innocent children… Those are dumb witnesses of the unlimited love people may have for their work and humanity in general.
Anyway, many of the images on display are posted under the HFH category on this blog. Donations to Habitat’s work in Armenia can be made throughout the period of the exhibition or via their web site.
Talking of photography, after some technical difficulties, my Lightstalkers page is now back up at http://www.lightstalkers.org/oneworld.
And talking of The Club, the older and original Bambir will be presenting their new album there on Friday at 9pm.

One of the Dutch participants wrote about the experience (in Dutch - unfortunately for most of this site’s visitors). He is a colleague of a friend, who sent me the link today. Though I am not sure I fully agree with his at times very optimistic picture of Armenia, it is still an interesting read.
The first of six short articles is here:

You can get to the others through the links in the right side bar.
Onnik, you might recognize some of your pics (you are credited).
