Hayastan All Armenian Fund Constructs New School in Spitakashen Village,
Nagorno-Karabakh
Yerevan, 11 December, 2008 - Spitakashen School is in early stage of
construction works launched by the Hayastan All Armenian Fund and sponsored
through its Toronto local committee.
The local school was constructed in 1935. With years, learning process at
school has been getting less and less attractive for the students in a
run-down building which is also being used for community events and
gatherings as well.
"I believe the new school will open a new page in the history of the
community and be a starting point for improving life in the village", said,
the Acting Executive Director of the Hayastan Fund Ara Vardanyan during his
working visit to the site.
The new school will have all necessary facilities including a ceremony hall,
boiler-house and a playground. Basement is already covered with concrete and
support walls have been erected. Around 181 million AMD worth project is
scheduled to complete in August 2009. Designed for 130 students, the school
will be ready to open its doors to students in the new academic year in
2009.
Serob, a villager, is convinced that the new school will get young people
change their minds about leaving their homes. "We are grateful to the
Hayastan Fund and our benefactors in Canada; it is not the first time the
Fund supports us. When we received water back in September, the village, as
if, revived."
"It is very important that a community of 471 people and some 110 families
have a proper school; its how we can raise and educate our children
appropriately, "says Shiraz Hayrapetyan, the school director.
