ArmInfo. On the occasion of Armenian Genocide 95th commemoration,
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 came up with a symbolic initiative which took 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
first carefully removed 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 joined this
initiative of FPWC. Many popular artists also took part in this event.

There was a shift work day starting from early morning till late
evening.

This event was implemented in the frame of "Green Generation 2010"
campaign in partnership with VivaCell-MTS.
