In 2014 Code 3 Angels began its journey providing pediatric emergency care training in the communities of Gyumri, Dzaghgatsor and Yerevan in Armenia as well as basic first aid, CPR, AED and first responder training. These programs later expanded to Beirut, Lebanon, Riviera Maya in Mexico and communities in the United States. To date over 1,200 individuals have received training from Code 3 Angels.
With the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 preventing in person training, Code 3 Angels shifted its focus to delivering humanitarian aid to communities devastated by the catastrophic August 2020 port of Beirut explosion and providing life sustaining aid to the victims of the recent war in the Republic of Artsakh.
As the threat of COVID-19 comes under control and travel restrictions ease, Code 3 Angels will return to its core mission of providing pediatric and adult emergency care training in Armenia, Lebanon and wherever else there is a need. Meanwhile Code 3 Angels is expanding its educational mission into vocational training for EKG technicians, emergency medical technicians and medical assistants originating with Code 3 Life and the development of educational materials for emergency medical training, computer coding and S.T.E.M. education. As part of its founder’s profound commitment to serving the Armenian community worldwide, Code 3 Angels is also developing projects dedicated to preserving Armenia’s rich history and sustaining its vibrant culture.
