My
husband, Mantin, and I, Geghanush, bought this house about four years ago. Martin is in Russia working construction to
get our main source of income. We needed
a house that was closer to places such as the market. That is why we bought this particular
house. We have been able to do some
things ourselves but it takes us a long time to even come close to finishing
them. We added a kitchen because there
was none when we moved into this place.
Because our son, Karen, who is a contract soldier for the Armenian Army,
lives here with his wife, Tatev, we needed more room because of their growing
family. Our grandchildren, Martick, who
is 3 years old and Narek, who is almost 2 also live with us. We added a room but have been unable to
complete it as of yet. We have been able
to add a gate at the road to prevent my grandchildren from wandering off. We have done some plastering around the house
but it is in dire need of a new roof. We
have been unsure how we will complete that particular project. The biggest project we need to complete is the
addition of a bathroom. We have no
bathroom at all. We use our front porch
as a bathroom and hope that someday we will be able to construct one.
When
a neighbor told me about Habitat for Humanity Armenia, I could barely contain
myself. I told Martin the next time he
called and he agreed that we should try to get them to team with us to help us
improve our home. With their help we
could accomplish a project or two that would normally take us several years to
complete, if we are able to complete it at all.
I am praying that we will be selected for an international team visit.
