    Kanakeravan, Armenia--The Paros Foundation successfully completed its
    Kanakeravan Art School Bathroom Project in the village of Kanakeravan,
    Kotayk province, one of its 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity,
    through the generous sponsorship of Adam & Rita Kablanian (CA) and
    Shahen & Arax Hairapetian (CA). The Paros Foundation underwrote all
    administrative expenses allowing the sponsor contributions to be spent
    100% on the project.

    "The Art School provides afterschool classes in the fine arts, dance,
    and music (both classical and folk)," said Peter Abajian, Executive
    Director of The Paros Foundation. "Having a dignified bathroom at the
    school is important for both the students and staff."

    The School, which was built in 1992, provides classes to 123 students
    from both the village of Kanakeravan and a neighboring village. The
    residents of Kanakeravan have a deep appreciation for the arts and
    truly appreciate their facility.

    The Paros Foundation remains committed to helping Armenia's children
    learn in a dignified environment. Many restrooms throughout Armenia's
    schools remain in deplorable conditions and with your help, we can fix
    this one bathroom at a time. Please make a generous contribution today
    in your family's name and lets work together to solve this important
    need. When in Armenia, Paros will arrange a visit and tour of your
    project. Donations can be made online via credit card or via check
    made payable to: The Paros Foundation, 918 Parker Street, A14,
    Berkeley, CA 94710.

    The Paros Foundation expresses its deepest appreciation to the
    Kablanian and Hairapetian Families for their generous support of this
    effort. A video regarding this project can be viewed by visiting
