This coming April, 2017, Meaningfulworld will travel to Armenia for a follow-up Humanitarian Outreach mission.

Dr. Ani Kalayjian initiated and led the first outreach mission immediately after the devastating earthquake in 1988.

Since then, the organization has continued to work consistently in Armenia.

The team will be comprised of three Meaningfulworld Ambassadors; Dr. Ani Kalayjian, Dr. Leslie Popoff, and Irene Tananyan.

The organization will focus on transforming horizontal violence and generational trauma, promote meaning-making while peacebuilding, to share the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and establishing Peace and Forgiveness Gardens which we began during our mission to Armenia in Sept. 2014.

The team will also work with refugees from Syria who are dealing with the challenges of resettlement, as well as orphans living in children’s centers. An integral part of this and each Meaningfulworld humanitarian mission is the 7-Step Integrative Healing Model which incorporates and promotes self-care, self-healing, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, empathy, and meaning.

Founded in 1990, the Association for Trauma Outreach & Prevention (ATOP) Meaningfulworld, charitable organization affiliated with the United Nations Dept. of Public Information, has achieved international recognition as a leader in training humanitarian outreach professionals as well as responding to two and a half decades of global and local disasters. ATOP is committed to health, justice, peace, transformation and global education promoting state-of-the-art scientific theory on peace, forgiveness, consciousness research, internship, and the development of technical skills to train mental health professionals, teachers, psychologists, art therapists, nutritionists, alternative medicine practitioners, clergy, nurses, mediators, interfaith ministers, and lay persons committed to service the self and humanity.
