They apply their physical energy and mental ingenuity to a variety of tasks in architectural preservation, land cultivation and community development. LCO Summer Campaigns not only afford Armenians in the Diaspora the rare experience of discovering their ancestral roots and expanding their cultural horizons, but they also create opportunities that put ideals into action. <br><br> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="370" valign="top" align="center"> <!--<b>Application Deadline has been extended to:<br> July campaign May 31, 2004.<br> August campaign June 7, 2004.</b> <br>--><br> <table width="370" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="white"> <tr align="center"> <td width="90">&nbsp;</td> <td width="110"><b>Sites</b></td> <td width="150"><b>Dates</b></td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td>Armenia</td> <td><a href="#" class="emailLink">Dprevan</a></td> <td><strike>Spring 2004</strike></td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td valign="top">Armenia</td> <td valign="top"><a href="#" class="emailLink">Faith and Heritage</a></td> <td valign="top"><strike>June 25 - 27</strike></td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td valign="top">Javakhk</td> <td valign="top">Akhalkalak Church</td> <td valign="top">July - August</td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td>Armenia</td> <td><a href="#" class="emailLink">Vardenis-Shatvan</a></td> <td>Jul 3-29, Jul 29-Aug 26</td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td>Artsakh</td> <td><a href="#" class="emailLink">Shushi Hospital</a></td> <td>Jul 3-29, Jul 29-Aug 26</td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td>Kessab</td> <td>Kessab</td> <td>Jul 29-Aug 24</td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td valign="top">Iran</td> <td>Pilgrimage to St. Taddeus</td> <td valign="top">July 21 - July 27</td> </tr> </table> <br> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td colspan="2"><br>Need info about Armenia? <a href="#" class="emailLink">Browse through these links</a>.</td></tr> </table> </td> <td width="30">&nbsp;</td> <td valign="top" width="300"> <table width="300" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td align="center"><b>Working hard in?the village</b><br><br></td></tr> <tr><td></td></tr> <tr> <td><div align="justify"> Mixing cement, digging, building or?bringing down walls is a days work a for our volunteers <!--On most sites volunteers live together in a village house.
