April 24th is a memory day for all Armenians all over the world.
Thousands of Armenians from Diaspora and Armenia as well as numerous
foreigners honor the memory of 1915 Armenian Genocide by deposing
hundreds and thousands of flowers at the eternal flame thus
commemorating the memory of innocent victims of that terrifying
massacre. Those flowers symbolize the sorrow about irreparable losses.
This year FPWC in cooperation with its general partner VivaCell-MTS
implemented a number of joint projects. In the frame of Earth Day
celebrations on April 22nd the Foundation embellished Memory Park in
Tsitsernakaberd with 95 seedlings brought from Western Armenia.
To conclude the series of events on the occasion of Armenian Genocide
95th commemoration FPWC has come up with a symbolic initiative which
will take place on the 27th of April. For the first time the flowers
deposed at the eternal flame of the Genocide Memorial will "revive".
Sunchild Eco-club children, volunteers, FPWC staff, a number
of organizations and individuals will first carefully remove the
pedicles of the flowers which will later be used in compost for the
park of Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. The flower petals dried
in special conditions and used in recycled paper will turn into nice
thank you cards and memos for the Genocide Museum-Institute. The
cooperation of FPWC with Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute does
not only imply participation in the care of the Museum Park but also
demonstration of special approach to those people who brought flowers
to the eternal flame overwhelmed with deep, unutterable emotions. The
flowers disguised in thank you cards and memos will symbolize our
eternal struggle and creative existence to the visitors and guests
of the Museum.
It’s worth to mention that a few organizations like VivaCell-MTS,
Star supermarket, Yerevan State University (YSU), Gavar branch of YSU,
"To Hayq" benevolent foundation, "Youth achievements" NGO will join
this initiative of FPWC. Many popular artists will also take part in
this event.
There will be a shift work day starting from early morning till
late evening.
This event is implemented in the frame of "Green Generation 2010’~R
campaign in partnership with VivaCell-MTS.
