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.
