I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect when arriving at the ANCA’s Aramian House to participate in the Leo Sarkisian Summer Internship (LSI) Program in Washington, DC. I knew I would be living in a house with my fellow interns and that I would be working in an office every day on issues that impact our community and cause. Hai Tahd (Armenian Cause) has been close to my heart for as long as I can remember, and finally having the opportunity to do my part and give back to a community through the ANCA was an incredible feeling.
And so, I decided to keep a journal to document the journey my fellow interns and I would make over the following 8 weeks – and share some of the memories which meant the most to me.
