On April 6, 2007 at 12:00 the official opening ceremony of kindergarten
#4 " Galik" in Sevan took place. The kindergarten was renovated
through the US Embassy and USAID-funded Community Self-Help Fund (CSHF)
program, which is implemented by Save the Children. Representatives
of the US Embassy, USAID, Save the Children, Gegharkunik Marzpetaran,
Sevan local government and the community participated in the event.

As a result of the project, the roof, kitchen, playrooms and
sleeping rooms of the building were renovated, windows were glazed,
and the heating system was fully replaced (2 gas boilers and heating
accumulators were installed, and the heating water pipes were replaced)
ensuring proper heating in the kindergarten. Thus, the education and
care conditions for kindergarten’s 146 kids and work conditions of
the 18 staff were significantly improved.

The total cost of the project was USD 30,000 of which USD 19,300 was
provided by the Community Self-Help Fund, while USD 10,700 (about 35.5%
of the project cost) was contributed by Sevan community in form of
labor and construction materials.
