For one of my two volunteer jobs here, I am working for an organization called Counterpart International. They aid civil society projects in Armenia by providing grants and giving trainings. Basically, this means they try to get Armenian citizens more involved in their government, so that the government respects its citizens and addresses their needs. My main task there is making 5-minute radio stories about the successes of their grantees. Here are a couple of the finished pieces and pictures of how they were made. More will soon be available here.
Maro (my coworker) and I went to the eastern part of Armenia to the town of Goris to interview people about their projects.
In Goris we talked to employees at the organizations and we talked to people benefiting from their work. Both the stories we did happened to be with youth, so we were able to get some good sounds.
Here is a butcher in Goris. It says "Mees" on the door, which means "meat".
Here is an old soviet poster.
