Armenian Volunteer Corps and I

The Armenian Volunteer Corps (AVC) program was an amazing opportunity for me to work, volunteer and gain experience in a specific field of my choice. At the time I was a new-graduate from the Electrical Engineer program. I had a hard time finding work in my own field, companies wouldn't even except me if I wanted to work for free (Volunteer). They would say I will be a liability for them, or they said they had trade secrets and since I won't be a member on their payroll, they couldn't accept me! So, having to deal with that type of responses and hundreds of failed replies to job postings, I decided to apply to AVC. I got a response very quickly and within a week or so I had an interview with them via skype. I mentioned in my interview with them, that I needed to find a volunteer work placement in the Electrical Engineering sector of the country. Surly withing a week they got back to me with a position at the American University of Armenia (AUA), working on reviving a giant HVAC system that 60% of its power was generated by the solar panels on the rooftop of the AUA.
Once I heard the news I was jumping for joy, since the position was in the sector of electrical engineering that I really wanted to gain experience in and have a career in. I was in Armenia for 4.5 months, from April to August. It was a life changing experience for me. I could literally write a book if I were to talk about all of my experiences, adventures and amazing encounters with the people of Armenia. Besides the work experience that I gained, I learned so much more about myself, it was like I was discovering my self for the first time. I owe all of this to Armenian Volunteer Corps, and to Birthright Armenia (Depi Hayq) organizations.
Thank you Thank you and Thank you :)
