Report from a visit to Armenia
I was fortunate to have been invited to attend the opening of a new YMCA building in Spitak, Armenia, on the 8th May so I took this opportunity to visit several YMCAs and also give some training to senior volunteers and staff members from 5 local associations. I travelled from 28th April to 6th May, which also gave me some time to see a bit of the country too, accompanied by YMCA Europe staff member Vardan Hambardzumyan.
