    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund provides essential furniture to 85 Artsakh
    schools

    Yerevan, December 20, 2009 - The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's second major
    school-furniture project, launched in August of this year, is nearing
    completion. The beneficiaries of the initiative are 85 schools across
    Artsakh - including those in the cities of Stepanakert and Shushi as well as
    the regions of Askeran, Martakert, Martuni, Hadrut, Shahumyan, and
    Kashatagh. The campuses will receive various furniture items essential to
    teachers and students alike. The project is sponsored by the Armenia Fund
    U.S. Western Region.

    The donated furniture, which includes more than 1,000 teacher chairs and
    1,300 cabinets, is being manufactured by the HATM company of Gyumri,
    Armenia. To date a large proportion of the order has been fulfilled and
    shipped to Artsakh. The furniture will be distributed by the Artsakh
    Ministry of Education, with priority given to schools that need immediate
    assistance.

    "High-quality school amenities are of course a prerequisite to a productive
    learning environment," said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the
    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. "The new furniture donated to schools in Artsakh
    will help ensure creature comforts and ultimately play its role in
    contributing to scholastic achievement."

    Earlier this year, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's French affiliate
    sponsored the provision of new furniture to more than 100 schools in
    Artsakh. The initiative has resulted in comfortable and well-appointed
    classrooms as well as science and computer labs for over 10,000 students.
