Next month, AGBU will conclude its year of centennial celebrations, as leaders and volunteers from around the world come together in Yerevan, Armenia, for a conference to discuss future programs and activities. Looking forward to the next centennial, AGBU members will bury a time capsule in Armenia on Easter Sunday to be opened in 2106.
This month, Armenia’s media has given extensive coverage to AGBU's recent donation of 12 state-of-the-art ultrasound machines to hospitals in Armenia and Javakh, which, including the 10 donated last July, brings the total of donated machines to 22.
