YEREVAN, DECEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. Assistance was provided to 2907
families of six communities making part of the Model Grouping of
Villages of Armavir region within the framework of the RA Rural Areas’
All-Round Development Participation Program of the Children of Armenia
Fund. As it was mentioned in the report provided to Noyan Tapan by
the Fund, lately each family has received 2-7 apricot trees.

For the purpose of reducing poverty in rural communities and promoting
profitable activity, the Fund cooperates with the ATP Charity Fund
and American Armenian businessman Bryan Bedrosian. Bryan and Rosie
Bedrosians, cooperating with the Fund since 2004, have founded an
apricot hotbed in Karakert. The program’s goal was to give the young
plants grown in the hotbed to the local farmers.

In total, 14729 trees have been given out to the families of the
Model Grouping of Villages thanks to the assistance of the Bedrosians.
