The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has begun construction of a kindergarten
in Sos, a village in Artsakh's Martuni Region. The project is
co-sponsored by the fund's French affiliate and the government
of Artsakh.
The future kindergarten will be a two-story structure designed to
accommodate up to 50 children. The first floor will comprise a locker
room, naprooms, restrooms, a kitchen, a laundry, and storage rooms;
the second floor will consist of playrooms, an events hall, and a gym.
The facility will also feature a sizeable playground. Currently crews
are laying the foundations of the kindergarten, which is slated to
open in Fall 2012.
In the meantime preschoolers in Sos will continue to attend the
community's existing kindergarten, which was built in the 1970s. The
campus is in a state of serious disrepair and lacks some of the core
amenities required of a modern educational institution, among them
central heating and even a sewage-disposal system.
Due to the dilapidated condition of the old campus, some families
have opted altogether not to send their children to the kindergarten,
according to Sos mayor Igor Ghahramanyan.
Commenting on the construction of the future kindergarten, the mayor
reiterated his community's great joy and anticipation, given the
imminent availability of a spacious and comfortable kindergarten
featuring state-of-the-art amenities.
Sos is the site of another major development project, the construction
of a critically needed potable-water network, which the Hayastan
All-Armenian Fund implemented in 2010 with the co-sponsorship of the
French-Armenian community and the government of Artsakh. Thanks to the
initiative, the residents of Sos have since enjoyed around-the-clock
access to water.
"Our hope is that such projects will vastly improve prospects of
economic and social development in thevillageofSos, which flanks
the main road to the Amaras Monastery complex," said Ara Vardanyan,
executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. "In this respect,
our high praise goes to our French affiliate, for its consistent
support of preschool-building initiatives in Artsakh. One of these is
the soon-to-be-completed construction of a kindergarten in Drakhtik,
a village in the Hadrut Region."
Sos, which traces its history to the 1700s, is home to 1,040
residents. The community's main occupations are cattlebreeding and
winemaking. The local agricultural-machinery park, established in
recent years in Sos village, has gone a long way to improve farming
productivity, Ghahramanyan said.
