Armenia
On July 14th a group of U.S. officials headed by Daniel Rosenblum,
Director of the Office for Assistance to Europe and Eurasia, U.S.
Embassy representatives, Manvel Javadyan, the Community Governor of
Avan administrative region, international NGOs, parents and other
guests participated in the opening ceremony held by International
Relief and Development (IRD) for the renovated laundry, dishwashing
and sanitary facilities of kindergarten #54 in Avan, Yerevan.
In January 2010 IRD received funding from U.S. DOS for this small
reconstruction project -$12,000. The local government provided
furniture to the laundry, ironing and dishwasing facilities. The
construction company "V. Aghababyan" Ltd. donated two laundry machines
(5kg each) to the kindergarten.
The kindergarten is attended by 200 children of 2.5-6 years. The
physical conditions were equally bad in all facilities - old, broken,
obsolete, rusty, leaking, etc. The most unacceptable situation was due
to the fact that all plates, glasses and other kitchen utensils were
washed and kept in the same place where children wash their hands -
right next to the lavatory pans!
Laundry, ironing, dishwashing rooms and the toilet for the youngest
group of children were renovated.
