Hayastan All-Armenian Fund provides essential furniture to 85 Artsakh
schools

Yerevan, December 20, 2009 – The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s second major
school-furniture project, launched in August of this year, is nearing
completion. The beneficiaries of the initiative are 85 schools across
Artsakh – including those in the cities of Stepanakert and Shushi as well as
the regions of Askeran, Martakert, Martuni, Hadrut, Shahumyan, and
Kashatagh. The campuses will receive various furniture items essential to
teachers and students alike. The project is sponsored by the Armenia Fund
U.S. Western Region.

The donated furniture, which includes more than 1,000 teacher chairs and
1,300 cabinets, is being manufactured by the HATM company of Gyumri,
Armenia. To date a large proportion of the order has been fulfilled and
shipped to Artsakh. The furniture will be distributed by the Artsakh
Ministry of Education, with priority given to schools that need immediate
assistance.

"High-quality school amenities are of course a prerequisite to a productive
learning environment," said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. "The new furniture donated to schools in Artsakh
will help ensure creature comforts and ultimately play its role in
contributing to scholastic achievement."

Earlier this year, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s French affiliate
sponsored the provision of new furniture to more than 100 schools in
Artsakh. The initiative has resulted in comfortable and well-appointed
classrooms as well as science and computer labs for over 10,000 students.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
