Baking Bread in Armenia

One of my favorite shots by photographer Russell Powell from a recent trip to Armenia. Norik Sahakyan is lighting a pit oven used to bake lavash, a traditional Armenian bread. Look for a feature about Heifer Armenia’s unique youth clubs in the Fall issue of World Ark, due out the end of August, and video of women preparing lavash on our website.

About Heifer International

Heifer International works with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the Earth. With gifts of livestock and training, Heifer projects help families improve their nutrition and generate income in sustainable ways. We refer to the animals as "living loans," because in exchange for their livestock and training, families agree to give one of their animal's offspring to another family in need. It's called Passing on the Gift–a cornerstone of our mission that creates a lasting and sustainable impact.
