The Hayastan All Armenian Fund got underway major repairs to the
Artsni communal center in February, 2010. The initiative is sponsored
by the Fund's Montreal affiliate.
The second project implemented in the community by the Fund is the
school major repairs, with the Indian government financing.
The communal two-storeyed center has a history of 40 years and needed
to be repaired. The village administration dislocated in the building
will serve the community after the repairs and the event room and
first-aid post will also serve neighboring Apaven village residents.
The doors and windows have been already installed, the corridor floor
and stairs have been tiled with pressed granite. The minor repairs
are about to be completed.
"It is the first time in village's history when two buildings are
repaired simultaneously, over a dozen villagers have found a job,
even if temporary. I hope the villagers having left their houses
will return," community head Khenko Khachanesyan said conveying the
villagers' words: "If we also got gas supply, our life would become
much easier." Hayastan All Armenian Fund's PR department reported.
Most of the 350 villagers are refugees coming from Getashen. They
are mainly engaged in cattle breeding. In 1991 the community was
renamed Artsni.
"The village has a lot of problems but I hope it will start living
a new life after our works, and a villager will prefer staying
and working in his native village," Fund Executive Director Ara
Vardanyan said.
The third program being implemented in the Lori region at present is
the construction of a gymnasium for school N 2 in the town of Spitak.
The construction will be completed this month.
