Birthright Armenia Homestay Program

Notas del editor

  1. The homestay program works like a modified bed-and-breakfast.  Accommodations include a separate, private bedroom and access to a communal bathroom, kitchen and living area.  As part of the homestay living arrangement, families accept participants for the duration of the stay, for which the family is compensated with the amount of 72,500 AMD per month (about 2,400 AMD per day).
