Yerevan, Armenia - On Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 15:00, Gerald
Oberndorfer, Director of Humanitarian Programs, U.S. Department of
State, and Tamara Baghdasaryan, Director of the Kindergarten No 3
of Nor Nork Community, will cut the ribbon marking the opening of
the newly reconstructed bathrooms at Kindergarten #03 of Nor Nork
Community. Counterpart International's Community and Humanitarian
Assistance Program (CHAP) in Armenia has implemented the U.S.
Department of State-funded small reconstruction project due to which
hygiene and sanitary conditions of the bathrooms at the Kindergarten
#03 of Nor Nork Community have been improved significantly.
This Small Reconstruction Project was implemented by Counterpart's
CHAP staff in close cooperation with the school management. Under
this project the ceiling and walls have been repaired and painted,
floor has been evened and covered with ceramic tiles; the old doors
and windows have been replaced with PVC ones. New lavatory pans and
hand-washing basins with fittings have been installed; water pipes
and electric cables have been replaced with new ones; the sewage
system has been fixed.
LDS Charities contributed to the project through provision of part
of the needed construction materials for the bathrooms. Latter-day
Saint Charities (LDSC) is the humanitarian branch of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, headquarters in Salt lake City,
Utah, USA and provides humanitarian assistance to many countries
throughout the world. LDS was registered in Armenia in 1988 and
since then provides services in education, promotion and health
spheres. Counterpart started collaboration with LDS Charities from
the beginning of its activities in Armenia.
"We would like to thank you very much for all the hard work put forth
by you and your company during our recent bathrooms renovation. The
process was very well organized and went relatively smoothly. Thank
you very much for this urgent support." said T. Baghdasaryan, director
of the kindergarten.
Kindergarten # 03 is located in Nor-Nork Community of Yerevan. It is
one of the first educational institutions in this community and has
more than 40-year history
The Kindergarten is a two-storied typical building and has not
been renovated since its commencement, hence the current sanitary
condition in some of its facilities, particularly in three bathrooms
is substandard. There was an acute need for full reconstruction of
the bathrooms to eliminate the existing insanitation.
CHAP operates in Armenia since 1995. From its commencement until
present, the program has assisted more than 2.5 million needy
Armenians. Through its network of more than 500 organizations, CHAP
imported and distributed humanitarian assistance to Armenia valued
at over $30 million.
For 43 years, Counterpart has given people a voice in their own future
through smart partnerships, offering options and access to tools for
sustained social, economic and environmental development.
Established in 1965, Counterpart International (Counterpart) has
forged strategic partnerships in more than 65 countries. With 350
staff currently operating in 25countries, Counterpart's programs
encompass humanitarian aid and relief assistance, health care,
democracy and governance, natural resource management and feeding the
impoverished. Though Counterpart's projects are diverse, they share a
common objective: improving the lives of those in need by empowering
people and local institutions to develop innovative, holistic, and
lasting solutions that address social, economic and environmental
challenges. Learn more at www.counterpart.org.
