Andre, the first representative of Armenia at the Eurovision Song
Contest this year, has decided to do some work for an humanitarian
cause. He will be performing at the 12 hour telethon to raise money
for the Armenian Fund.

The Armenian Fund, an humanitarian corporation, had the honour
to announce Andre’s participation at the 9th annual international
Telethon, to be aired worldwide on Thanksgiving Day, November 23,
8:00AM-8:00PM PST.

As part of the Rebirth of Artsakh project, proceeds from the live 12
hour program will benefit the regional development of Hadrut, Nagorno
Karabakh (Armenia). The funds will go towards building new drinking
water pipelines as well as reconstructing healthcare facilities and
schools that fell victim to the devastating war.

A winner of many international music contests and awards as a solo
artist, Andre has performed in the United States, Russia, China,
Europe, Lebanon, Iran, United Arab Emirates and countries of the
former Soviet Union.

Andre’s successful achievement in Athens reaching the 8th position
provided to Armenia a secure place to the final of the 2007 Eurovision
Song Contest in Helsinki.
