Fuller Center needs volunteers

The Fuller Center for Housing is seeking volunteers for its Global Builders program in Armenia to assist those who still struggle from the devastating 1988 earthquake and strive to establish a free economy.

Volunteers will join a two-week Global Builders team and work with Armenian families to construct decent housing. They will also be able to travel and see historic sites in Armenia.

Armenia Global Builders trips are scheduled for these dates in 2011:

* May 15-29 and July 9-23, in the northern region of Vanadzor

* July 14-26 and July 26-Aug. 9, in the capital city of Yerevan

Experienced Global Builders Team Leaders have traveled regularly to Armenia to build homes since 2003. Costs are expected to be approximately $1,550-1,900, not including airfare. No construction experience is needed.

For more information, see the website www.fullercenter.org/global-builders/upcoming-trips.
