Each nation has the privilage of dwelling on its ancestral lands, struggling for its preservation. The commintment of the LCO is to gain and disseminate an intimate knowledge of the land and its rich culture; to raise international awareness that the treasures of the Armenian heritage are at the mercy of an indifferent world; to rescue these treasures from total destruction; and to assist in the social and economic developments of communities living in historic and present-day Armenia. Established over two decades ago, the LCO has undertaken a challenging variety of activities that range from restoration projectsof national monuments, to social and economic assistance programs, to historical documentation, and to development programs for Armenian communities lining on ancestral lands. Culturally proud peoples the world over are fast gaining awareness that cultural survival is inextricably tied to their lands. The Land and Culture Organization creates enriching opportunities for men and women of all backgrounds and interests to directly praticipate in the process of getting back to their roots, bridging gaps between past and present and forging links with today and tomorrow. Since its inception, the LCO has organized summer "campaigns" in which volunteers from Europe, North and South America, Australia and Armenia itself join together in the accomplishment of this mission. The effort is voluntary. The results are far reaching. Keep the Spirit!!! web page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
