THE ARMENIA FUND COMPLETES RECONSTRUCTION OF MRGASHEN KINDERGARTEN

Largir, Armenia
Nov 29 2007

On November 21 Mrgashen kindergarten in Kotayk marz reopened after
its reconstruction. The 53.5 million AMD worth project was sponsored
by Anaide and Varoujan Tcheugurian through The Armenia Fund French
local committee. The modern furniture including beds, tables, chairs
and wardrobes (worth more than 8 million AMD allocated by The Armenia
Fund local committee of France) make the kindergarten a very pleasant
place for children to play and learn in.

The kindergarten had not undergone any repair since 1964. Within
The Armenia Fund project the roof, floor, sanitary units, doors and
windows were renovated, heating system, gas and water pipelines were
installed, and a boiler-house was constructed.

The kindergarten initially designed for 100 children had only 30
attending it. Now when conditions have considerably improved, the
facility will also accommodate children from the neighboring village
of Artamed. Currently, Mrgashen’s population is around 2500 most of
which are refugees from Azerbaijan.
