In diasporan news, summer interns from New York, Paris and Yerevan are returning home; campers from camps in France, Bulgaria, Lebanon and the U.S. are wrapping up another season; Montreal hosted a successful fashion fundraiser and, in the last two months, hundred of students graduated from AGBU schools around the world, including Lebanon's Tarouhy-Hovagimian School (which had a record number of graduates, 56) and Greece's Artaki Kalpakian School.
Additionally, dozens of photos from AGBU summer camps in France and the United States (Camp Nubar) are available online!
