Hayastan All-Armenian Fund builds school for Artsakh's Vaghuhas and Khnkavan
communities
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has begun construction of a community school
in Vaghuhas, a village in Nagorno Karabakh's Martakert Region. The project
is financed by benefactor Samvel Aleksanyan, the government of Nagorno
Karabakh, and a number of donors.
The planned two-story school will serve both Vaghuhas and the neighboring
Village of Khnkavan, accommodating 240 students.
"Since Vaghuhas was devastated during Artsakh's war of liberation, we're
very hopeful that this school will both boost local education and mark a new
beginning for the recovering community," said Ara Vardanyan, the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund's executive director.
On his part, Vaghuhas mayor Garegin Gharakhanyan described the school
project as a much-welcome and confidence-building initiative for the some
700 residents of his community. He also expressed hope that the momentum of
infrastructure restoration will continue in Vaghuhas and the village will
soon regain its former vibrancy.
To date, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has implemented a slew of critically
urgent community-development projects throughout Martakert. For instance,
with support raised through the 2005 Telethon and contributions by various
donors, the fund has built schools in the villages of Drmbon, Kochoghut,
Verin Horatagh, and Mataghis, and constructed a water main in Martakert and
water pipelines in Vaghuhas and Vank.
