Armenians arrive in D.C.

June 4th 2008 saw the beginning of the arrival of young Armenians in their penultimate year of study at university. There are a total of 18 interns in this year’s program, who all live together in the dorms at Georgetown University Campus in vibrant Georgetown, Washington D.C., along with intern coordinator Mr. Haig Kherlopian.

Each intern on the program works Monday through Friday at his or her respective place of work, ranging from interning with Congressmen and women on the Hill, to working at the Assembly offices, to working at the Armenian Embassy. Friday spells the end of the work week and the beginning of the weekend where the group partakes in many different activities the city has to offer including restaurants, bars, clubs, leisure activities and of course the grand sight-seeing opportunities available in D.C.


Throughout the internship, there will be meetings with Congressmen and women, representatives from the government, and talks with people of specific interest to the Armenian community; and so there will generally be a lot of things to do, see, and people to hear.

This blog has been created by the interns in order for us to share our experiences, memories, photos and convey the general on goings of our two month long internships.
