(Noyan Tapan - 06.09.2011) The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has begun
construction of a much-needed orphanage in Shushi, with a substantial
donation from Armenian-American benefactor Hirair Hovnanian, one of
the fund's longtime and leading supporters. The project is co-financed
by the government of Artsakh.
Currently there are close to 100 parentless children between the ages
of 1 and 15 living in the republic. While 50 of them are housed at the
Stepanakert Children's Home, the rest live with relatives. The planned
orphanage in Shushi is designed to accommodate up to 80 children.
The future institution will provide a full range of living, leisure,
and educational amenities for children of preschool and school age,
including bedrooms, playrooms, a canteen, a library with computers,
and an events hall. To be equipped with central heating and
air-conditioning, the facility will also feature a large playground
and tree-lined landscaping. A second construction phase will add a
gymnasium, playgrounds for football, basketball, handball and tennis
to the complex.
Currently crews are clearing the site, in preparation for building
the structure.
"The goal of the project is to help ease the plight of young orphans,
their pain of being deprived of parental care and tenderness, by
providing them with a wonderful living and educational environment,"
said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian
Fund. "Mr. Hovnanian, the initiative's main sponsor, is among those
truly exemplary Armenians who have steadfastly supported their homeland
throughout their lives."
"In addition to the vitally important project of building an orphanage
in Shushi, there are already numerous initiatives with which Mr.
Hovnanian's name is connected," Vardanyan continued. "On behalf of my
colleagues here in the homeland and throughout the world, I convey
our profound gratitude to our great benefactor for continuing to
place his trust in the work of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund."
A regular supporter of the fund's projects since its very inception
in 1992, Hovnanian has to date contributed more than U.S. million to
the pan-national organization and is righteously an Honorary member
of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.
