    What Have You Done? With Arev Gabriel

    Being motivated to give back is one thing, but motivating others to join is a tall task that requires lots of determination. Our guest today was so moved by the students and community she encountered, she took it upon herself to rally her own community to help fund the majority of a gymnasium that would create opportunity, joy, and connection for years to come. What began as a personal spark quickly became a collective effort rooted in generosity and purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder of how one person’s initiative can create lasting impact.   Learn more here: https://parosfoundation.org/donations/sjshhatfwiozdaxh-3-2-10-3/

    Concentrated Impact in Gyumri

    Over 35 years ago, the Gyumri earthquake left the second largest city in Armenia in shambles. Now three decades later the remnants of this disaster still remain, both visually throughout the city, and in the cruel cycle of poverty that has resulted. Through housing initiatives to permanently reduce domik, or container living, afterschool programs that provide enrichment for the future generation, and vocational training that gives people the opportunity to provide, strides are being made to not only move forward, but to thrive forward.  Learn more about the Paros Housing, After School, and Vocational Center and get involved here: https://parosfoundation.org/donations/paros-center/

    Aging Population in Armenia

    Across Armenia today, thousands of older adults, many of them refugees from Artsakh, are facing the most challenging chapter of their lives. Uprooted from their homes, separated from familiar communities, and navigating the realities of aging under extraordinary stress, they are carrying both personal loss and the collective trauma of displacement. Yet within this struggle lies a powerful story of resilience, dignity, and the urgent need for compassionate support.   Learn more about this population and the efforts being taken to help in any way possible in our interview with Paros Executive Director, Peter Abajian.

    What Have You Done? With John Mangasarian

    Giving back to the Armenia and Armenian organizations is something diaspora Armenians feel very connected to. From volunteering at your local church, donating to Armenia, visiting the country and giving back, and everything in between, getting involved as Armenians keeps the fabric of our culture thriving. Throughout 2025 we are asking our community, what have they done lately to get involved. Our hope is that these interviews show you that every little bit matters, and hopefully inspires you to also get involved.   To kick off this mini-series we are talking to Paros donor and friend, John Mangasarian, who is a dedicated member of his Armenian community here in the United States as well as in Armenia. Learn more about how he gets involved in this episode.
