The Armenian EyeCare Project’s Armenia Trip for friends and donors began last year as a special way to celebrate our organization’s 25th Anniversary – for our supporters to see our programs in person and experience Armenia together. Because the trip was so successful, we decided to organize an “encore” excursion for 2018.
