ARLINGTON, Mass.-On Sat., Feb. 25, Ana Christina Schirinian, who
spearheads agricultural development projects in Armenia and in other
nations, will be the special guest at a breakfast reception at the
Armenian Cultural Foundation (ACF) in Arlington.
Ana Cristina Schirinian In an informal, illustrated program sponsored
by the Armenian International Women's Association (AIWA), Schirinian
will describe her experiences, and the lessons learned, from her
work as president of Tierras de Armenia and as executive director of
Fruitful Armenia.
These projects have aimed to introduce the latest technology into
agricultural activity in order to maximize efficiency and quality.
Tierras de Armenia, for example, has taken a large arid expanse of land
in the Armavir province and turned it into a productive fruit-bearing
area, having clearly benefited from state-of-the-art irrigation
provided by a newly constructed reservoir. Shirinian will also discuss
her experience from agricultural development projects in other nations,
notably Argentina, Morocco, and Italy, during the program.
A native of Buenos Aires, Schirinian serves as special assistant to
businessman Edwardo Eurnekian, the head of the Argentine holding
company Corporacion America, who is especially known by Armenians
for his activities in rebuilding Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan.
Schirinian is visiting the U.S. to participate in the annual session
of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations
headquarters in New York. She will be featured in a workshop sponsored
by AIWA on Mon., Feb. 27, from 6:15-7:45 p.m. at the Church Center,
opposite the UN General Assembly building. Also participating in the
New York workshop will be documentary photographer and attorney Sara
Anjargolian from Los Angeles.
The AIWA breakfast reception begins at 10 a.m. and is free and open to
the public. The focus of Schirinian's talk will be "The Empowerment
of Rural Women," as exemplified in her work supporting sustainable
development.
