    An Appeal from Genocide Education Project

    13:24, 28 April, 2012

    YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS: Educating America's youth about the
    Armenian Genocide is an essential way to prevent genocide denial and
    ensure this important history is remembered for generations to come,
    reports Armenpress citing Asbarez.

    The Genocide Education Project seeks to teach the lessons of the
    Armenian Genocide to the next generation of American citizens and
    leaders - providing educators across the country with the resources
    and training they need to incorporate the Armenian Genocide into their
    curriculum.

    By supporting The Genocide Education Project (GenEd), you can
    commemorate the Armenian Genocide in a practical and lasting way. Our
    goal is to see that every student graduates from high school with an
    understanding of the Armenian Genocide and the pattern of genocides
    that followed. With every high school history teacher that uses our
    resources, we can reach at least 100 students each year. Your
    contribution will allow us to provide our services to more educators,
    and in turn, more students.

    Over the last ten years, GenEd has built a reputation for quality
    educational services related to the Armenian Genocide. Our work has
    been featured by various organizations recommending reliable
    curriculum on the history of genocide, including PBS, Amnesty
    International, Facing History and Ourselves, Point of View
    Documentaries, and multiple universities.

    Most recently, GenEd has produced a 12-minute educational film and
    resource guide commissioned by the Rhode Island Council for the
    Humanities. `A Journey from Despair to Hope: The Story of the Armenian
    Americans of Rhode Island' tells the story of Armenian Genocide
    survivor Margaret Garabedian Der Manuelian. It is told through the
    voice of Der Manuelian's great-granddaughter and allows students to
    engage with the subject on a more direct and personal level.
    Workshops to train teachers on the Armenian Genocide and the use of
    the video are planned for May. You can view the film on our facebook
    page, facebook.com/genedpro, and you can view all of our educational
    resources at our online resource library, TeachGenocide.com.

    Your financial support will allow us to continue to develop and
    distribute these instructional materials to more educators and
    students. Please help GenEd reach these goals and honor the memory of
    the victims for many years into the future. You can make a tax
    deductible donation at GenocideEducation.org/contribute or by sending
    a check to The Genocide Education Project, 51 Commonwealth Ave., San
    Francisco, CA 94118.
