Hayastan Fund Completes Mataghis Kindergarten Reconstruction and Furnishing
Project
Yerevan, July 15, 2008 – Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is pleased to announce
the completion of the full reconstruction and furnishing of the Mataghis
kindergarten in Karabakh’s Martakert region. The project was made possible
through the sponsorship (cost around AMD 22 million) of the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund Lebanese local committee.
The idea of rebuilding the old village school into a kindergarten emerged
when a spacious modern school for 120 students was constructed in the
community in 2007 with funds from the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Toronto
affiliate.
The one-storey building of the kindergarten, now standing new and welcoming,
can accommodate 30 youngsters. Donors of the project have also taken care of
the furniture for the place, as well as facilities for the playground.
As soon as recruitment of mentors, instructors, and supporting staff is
over, the kindergarten will open its doors to the excited youngsters of the
village.
<It is hard to tell which of the numerous infrastructural projects
implemented by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund have been the most important
ones, but one thing I can tell for sure; projects having to do with
children, their upbringing and education are most special. It is so
rewarding that we have provided a small village like Mataghis with both a
beautiful and modern school and a kindergarten," says Ara Vardanyan, the
acting executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.
