We are proud to announce that this summer the first-ever AGBU Moscow Summer Intern Program will take place. Joining our already extensive roster of summer programs that serve Armenian youth, the Moscow program will allow students to experience the exhilaration of the Russian capital, while immersing them in the thrill of modern Russia—applications are available online.

In more sobering news, the island nation of Haiti experienced a devastating earthquake this month and AGBU has donated $50,000 as a sign of solidarity with the people of this Caribbean nation, as they rebuild their lives.

Next week, hundreds of young professionals will converge in San Francisco for the annual Winter Gala celebration, sponsored by YP Northern California. For more information visit: www.agbusfgala.org.
