`Hayastan’ All-Armenian Fund Furnishes Schools in Armenia
During the 2005 – 2006 academic years, "Hayastan" All-Armenian Fund
furnished several schools in Armenia through the generous sponsorship of
its French affiliate – Fonds Armenien de France.
The affiliate continues to have a vital input in the humanitarian
initiatives of the Fund. One of its forefronts has been the
revitalization of educational facilities, through large-scale
construction as well as refurnishing the schools’ classrooms. The
earthquake of 1988 not only brought the infrastructure to rubbles, but
it also caused enormous damage to schools and universities. Currently,
thousands of children learn in dilapidated rooms and facilities.
Fonds Armenien de France launched an initiative dubbed `Let’s Give
Them Classrooms’ – a program designed to bring modern supplies and
furniture to classrooms in Armenia. As part of this initiative, schools
in Armenia will receive necessary supplies thanks to the sponsorship of
Diaspora Armenians of France. In addition to individual donors,
municipal governments from France will donate equipment and furniture.
Recently, the #14 Yerevan School for individuals with impaired vision,
the #1 Gyumri School, and #10 Abovyan School have all been recipients of
such supplies from French municipalities.
In addition to its several projects in healthcare and drinking water
systems, the French affiliate adopted schools in the Dasht Village,
Armavir Province and Arjout Village, Lori Province. In June the Dasht
village school was completely furnished. Children in the Shahan Shahnur
School in Arjout, constructed through the sponsorship of the French
affiliate in 1999, will also have classes in newly furnished classrooms.
230 Students in the Aygek Village School will soon enjoy refurnished
classrooms.
