YEREVAN, JUNE 19, ARMENPRESS: Following town hall meetings with the
community and continuous discussions with the Coordinating Committee
elected by the Dalarik community, Children of Armenia Fund (COAF)
signed a bi-lateral agreement with the local Municipality delineating
the cooperative arrangements for the reconstruction of the Dalarik
School.

Subsequently, through a transparent and competitive procurement
process, COAF awarded the reconstruction contract to Epal LLC, a
construction company based in Hrazdan. This reconstruction project
takes into account the additional needs that arise from the 12-grade
system approved by the Ministry of Education for implementation in
the next school year.

The renovated school will accommodate 630 children in an improved
environment, access to indoor lavatories with running water and
central heating system. This COAF initiative also includes complete
refurnishing and site development. The project is fully funded by
COAF and is planned for completion by the New Year.
