Habitat GV Build – Argil Armenia - The Team

Argil, Armenia – 2016. The Global Village team was led by Tanya McMurdo and was made up of eight individuals from various parts of Canada. Several on the team had been of at least one Global Village build so knew what had to be done. Our Habitat Armenia coordinator was Naira Abrahamyan and she did a great job arranging our daily transportation, tours and dinners. Vahram was our Habitat Armenia Construction Supervisor and oversaw all of the work that was done and acted as our translator on the work site.
