LA to host photo exhibition displaying everyday life of Javakhk Armenians

PanARMENIAN.Net - A photo exhibition and sale, displaying the everyday life of Armenians in Javakhk will be held on Saturday July 25 at the Lost Souls Café in Downtown Los Angeles.



The event's goal is to raise $6,000 to purchase two cars for the Javakhk Armenian youth organization, which has faced difficulty in organizing activities in Armenia over the years due to a lack of transportation. All proceeds will be donated through the Armenian Youth Federation's Western Region, which is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.



The youth in Javakhk have a desire to share learning experiences with other Armenian youth in the region. Unfortunately, a lack of transportation prohibits them from participating in summer camps, educational opportunities, and life enhancing experiences in Yerevan and Kharabagh.



With community participation and support, the exhibit hopes to bridge the gap between Armenians living in Javakhk, Armenia, and Karabakh - a division which shouldn't exist.



The professional photos that will be displayed depict an Armenian reality in Javakhk and provide a deeper look into the everyday lives of the people, their tradition, labor, courage, religion and love, Asbarez.com reported.
