Armenia: Gyumri - Aregak Bakery and Cafe

We visit the Aregak Cafe in Gyumri, Armenia and chat with Sarah Stites, the Development Officer.

Aregak is not just another cafe, it's a very special place which you must come and visit when in Gyumri!

The Aregak Bakery and Cafe Aregak is the first restaurant in the city of Gyumri (and I believe in all of Armenia) to promote and celebrate the capabilities of young people with disabilities. It's wonderful to see these amazing young people thriving in a workplace which prides itself on the "inclusivity" of all people.

Sarah is an amazing human being (25% Armenian), originally from the States, now living and working in Gyumri. She is the Development Officer for the Aregak Bakery and Cafe and the Emily Aregak Centre for disabled youth. Sarah's an inspirational young lady, who is passionate about her work and the people she works with. She is passionate about changing people's attitudes to the disabled in our community. Aregak Bakery and Cafe is a shining example of inclusiveness in action, where disabled youth work side by side with 'able bodied folk,' providing a level of service (as evidenced by our amazing female waiter) which is second to none.
