The only cultural center for children in Erebouni community is
the former Pioneer Palace where pupils can learn singing, dancing,
embroidery and handicrafts. The center has more than 850 pupils who
periodically organize exhibitions of their works. They have recently
participated in the exhibition organized within the framework of the
celebration of the Yerevan day.

The center exists almost 30 years, but the building is rather old and
needs reconstruction. According to headmaster Mr. Rshtouni, the roof of
the building has been repaired thanks to the donation of the community
head. The backyard has also been cleaned of garbage and trees have
been planted. But the money is not enough for full reconstruction of
the building. The headmaster himself found it difficult to name the
necessary sum.

By the way, the center also has a problem of heating.

The rooms are heated by stoves; as for the fuel, the children bring
it from their own houses.
