On 8 August, 2015 the Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan staff members, led by the General Manager of the Hotel, Hendrik Beye, joined the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia team in the Pokr Vedi Village of Ararat Region to help build a home for the young family of Grigoryans.
It’s already the 7th year, since 2009, the Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan team helps build homes for Armenian families advocating the person’s right to a decent shelter.
“Taking care of our communities is valuable part of Marriott’s culture and Marriott International. We are very proud to belong to thousands of communities around the world. We believe that strong neighborhoods, towns, and cities are vital to the well-being of our society and economy, we feel we have a special responsibility and role to play in helping our communities thrive. Marriott’s social responsibility and community engagement programs not only benefit our communities, but strengthen our culture and we reach our hands to support our communities with all the possible ways we can. We are excited for lasting cooperation with Fuller Center for Housing Armenia and for being part of the 450th house building project,’’ said Hendrik Beye, General Manager of the Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan.
The day was distinctive as it corresponded with the construction of the 450thhome of the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia. Less than two months has passed since the construction of the 400th home, and now the 450th home floors are being concreted.
The spirit to serve the communities for Armenia Marriott Hotel Yerevan is expressed not only in the daily work but also out of it through helping the families in need of decent house morally and physically and with the deep sense of corporate social responsibility.
The Grigoryans live in the family father’s, Avetis’s paternal house. In 2014 Avetis started the construction of their own house, but could build on the foundation and the walls; they could not afford even building the ceiling due to lack of financial means.
”After marriage, I realized that as in all Armenian families I should build my own house with the right and responsibility of the elder brother so as my brother could get married too . The house of my parents is too small; 7 people live in three rooms. This project was a real revolution for us. I can’t even iamgine that by the end of the year we will move to our new house and meet the new year there and will say ”welcome to our home”,” shared Avetis Grigoryan.
”Our team has built many homes in this community. The young family of Grigoryans is one of the strong cornerstones in this community, who will develop their Homeland, who will stay and create in the land of their ancestors under the auspics of Mount Ararat,” said the President of the Fuller Center for Housing Armenia, Ashot Yeghiazaryan.
