THE CATHOLICOSATE OF CILICIA ALLOCATES 250,000 US DOLLARS
OF THE KHATCHIG BABIKIAN FUND TO ARMENIAN SCHOOLS
The "Khatchig Babikian" Fund, operating under the sponsorship of
the Catholicosate of Cilicia, will donate 250,000 US Dollars to the
Armenian national schools of Lebanon, announced His Holiness Aram I
during a special interview with the Catholicosate's Communications
Office.
"As we had previously announced through the media, the yearly income
of this fund will be channeled for use in educational, cultural,
social and publishing projects. However, considering the hardships
created in Lebanon as a consequence of the recent war, we decided to
exceptionally grant the largest part of the fund's allocation this
time to our schools. We believe this was a wise decision considering
the importance of the Armenian school in the life of the community,"
said His Holiness Aram I during the interview.
"The Catholicosate of Cilicia and We, personally, will continue to
consider the Armenian school as one of the most important aspects of
our mission," Aram I added.
The decision was taken on September 1 to make the grant for the
academic year 2006-2007. The Khatchig Babikian Fund was established
recently at the Antelias headquarters of the Catholicosate of
Cilicia. It is run by a special committee under the direct supervision
of the Catholicos.
