    Hayastan All Armenian Fund continues construction of Stepanakert's No. 11
    School

    The construction of a new campus for Stepanakert's No. 11 School is
    proceeding on schedule, announced the Hayastan All Armenian Fund. The
    project, spearheaded by the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region, is made
    possible through a donation by Armenian-American benefactor Gerald
    Turpanjian.

    With the foundations of the classrooms building and events hall already
    laid, currently crews are constructing the columns of the gymnasium and the
    walls of the classrooms building. The project is slated to be completed by
    August 2010.

    When the school opens its doors in time the 2010-2011 academic year, it will
    have an administrative building next to the main structure housing the
    classrooms, which will accommodate 560 students. Both buildings will consist
    of three stories. In addition to the gymnasium, the campus will feature a
    library, a canteen, vocational-training classrooms, an open-air events area,
    and a playground. The administrative building will include the principal's
    office, teachers' room, a health clinic, computer labs, and a reception area
    for parents. Heating for the school will be provided by a boiler room.

    "After years of having to conduct classrooms in a kindergarten, we will at
    last be provided with top-notch school facilities," said Aida Grigoryan, the
    school's principal.

    Commenting on the Hayastan All Armenian Fund's ongoing community-development
    effort in Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia, Ara Vardanyan, the fund's acting
    executive director, said, "We have every reason to believe that the future
    campus of the No. 11 School will become a veritable bastion of learning for
    the new generation."
