Syrian-Armenian children
LOS ANGELES--The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund continues to assist
the Syrian-Armenian community, with financial contributions made
by various fund affiliates since the beginning of 2014, as well as
proceeds from the fund's 2013 Telethon.
A total of 100,000 euros raised by the French affiliate will benefit
various Syrian-Armenian relief projects through the Catholicosate
of the Great House of Cilicia. Contributions by the fund's German
affiliate, totaling 35,000 euros, have already been transferred to
the Syrian-Armenian Emergency and Rehabilitation Committee.
In addition, of the funds raised through the 2013 Telethon, 15 million
Armenian drams will be allocated for continuing to address the social,
healthcare, and education needs of Syrian-Armenian families currently
residing in Armenia. The assistance will include the defrayal of
student tuitions as well as the costs of surgeries and funerals.
Program beneficiaries are selected by the Ministry of Diaspora.
The fund has used the contributions to implement a range of healthcare,
educational, and social-assistance projects. As of June 2013,
the fund has provided the following amounts in assistance to the
Syrian-Armenian community:
One hundred thousand euros raised by the French affiliate, 12,000
euros from the German affiliate, and US 100,000 dollars from the
Lebanese affiliate have been used essentially to pay the salaries of
teachers at Aleppo's Armenian schools.
Contributions from the Brazilian, Argentinean, and Swedish affiliates
have been used to cover the tuitions of 110 Syrian-Armenian students
attending various colleges and universities in Armenia; to pay
for the heart surgeries of six Syrian-Armenian individuals; and to
cover the cost of funerals for three others. The amount of 10,000
dollars raised by the US Western Region affiliate has been donated
to Yerevan's Cilician School, which has opened its doors to children
from Syrian-Armenian refugee families.
As for contributions made by industrialists Hirair Hovnanian and Ara
Abrahamyan, they have been used to pay for refugee flights between
Aleppo and Yerevan.
