RA Science and Education ministry and the Anushavan Abrahamian
Educational Fund (AAEF) signed an agreement, according to which
the latter commits to continue rendering assistance to the Armenian
vocational schools.

Holding speech after the signing ceremony, Levon Mkrtchian, RA Science
and Education Minister, said that he hopes that other Diaspora-based
Armenian benefactors will support this initiative.

The Foundation president Anushavan Abrahamian said he is proud of
being able to help Armenia restore its vocational education.

"I am not very rich but I want to spend the proceeds of our family
Foundation on helping develop Armenian vocational education," he said
urging other Diaspora Armenians to follow his example.

The Anushavan Abrahamian Education Fund (AAEF) was founded as a
charitable organization in the USA in 2004 with the intention of
starting its first programs in Armenia. It has already spent $200,000
on vocational schools in Armenia and will provide $500,000 more
this year.
