YP Buenos Aires organized a mixer on Saturday, July 20, 2013, in celebration of Friend Day, with proceeds earmarked for the AGBU Pan-YP Greenhouse Project in Barekamavan, Armenia. More than 100 young professionals enjoyed a night of music arranged by DJ Parla with a live performance by Arno Stepanyan on the saxophone at the local AGBU Center. To view the presentation prepared by YP Buenos Aires for that evening, visit here.
Launched in 2013, YP Buenos Aires joined its global peers in fundraising for the Pan-YP Greenhouse Project in Barekamavan, which is located in the Tavush province of Armenia. Treacherously close to the Azeri border, Barekamavan is home to 400 at-risk villagers with limited to no income-generating opportunities. Even though economically and geographically marginalized, the most promising asset for Barekamavan is its fertile land, inspiring the YP Network to build greenhouses to promote economic self-sufficiency and sustainability, and help ensure the survival and sovereignty of Armenia's borders.
