    FOUNDATION ASKS FOR DONATION TO MAKE SCHOOL FURNITURE


    Levon Lazarian, minister of education and science,
    complained in a press conference today that only
    Diaspora Armenians financially support Hay Dproch
    Foundation (Armenian School) and not local business
    community and other benefactors. Levon Aharonyan,
    chairman of the board of directors of the foundation,
    was surprised that support to schools is not
    widespread. `There are many rich people here... We must
    tell them and educate,' he said.

    Hay Dproch Foundation was established in 2003 and put
    an aim to provide desks, chairs and blackboards to 500
    schools. Until today, the foundation managed to
    provide furniture to 133 schools with 12,000
    schoolchildren. The furniture is mainly provided to
    borderline area schools, including some in Nagorno
    Karabakh.

    Each desk and chair costs them $50 but because of
    depreciation of dollar this sum is not enough.
    Therefore the foundation management asks for at least
    $60 of donation. /Panorama.am/
