    NEW COMMUNITY CENTER IN GYUMRI

    On November 2nd new Community Center is opened in Gyumri. The Norwegian
    Refugee Council has financed the complete renovation of the 3-building
    community center complex. Mission Armenia and Douleurs Sans Frontieres will
    be providing social services to the local populations that include refugees,
    earthquake victims, and local residents. These services will include
    different facilities for youth and elderly persons, such as soup kitchen,
    health post4, hairdressing room, bath and laundry, library, conference room,
    counseling and advisory services, and trauma healing. The Center will also
    have a Kindergarten for around 20 children.

    The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a non-governmental, humanitarian
    organization that has worked actively for more than 50 years to create a
    safer and more dignified life for refugees and internally displaced persons
    (IDPs), regardless of their race, religion, nationality or political
    convictions. We work for the rights of refugees and IDPs, assisting with
    food, shelter and education - and offering counseling on repatriation.

    In Armenia, NRC has invested more that 10 million USD in refugee-targeted
    projects since 1995. These include primarily housing construction, but also
    school construction and rehabilitation, construction of drinking and
    irrigation water pipelines, as well as human rights education and an IDP
    mapping survey. So far, NRC has provided new homes for over 600 refugee
    families in Armenia.

    Mission Armenia was registered in 1993, though its founding members started
    their activities since 1988 assisting those suffered from the earthquake and
    the refugees.
    The mission of the organization is to work for the interests of the elderly,
    refugee and other vulnerable groups of population promoting their active,
    healthy and dignified life and increasing the quality of their life
    continuously advancing its model of community-based assistance.
    Currently about 6,500 single older persons and 10,000 refugees residing at
    250 temporary shelter benefit from Mission Armenia community-based
    socio-healthcare and community development programs.

    Douleurs Sans Frontiers (DSF, Pain Without Borders) is the only NGO
    dedicated specifically to pain relief. Since 1995, Douleurs Sans Frontiers
    has advanced the mission of helping those in pain. Based in Europe, DSF is a
    non-governmental organization that has brought educational and clinical pain
    treatment programs to developing countries. Since November 2001 DSF is
    providing a medico-psychological assistance for mothers and children mostly
    in Gyumri and partially in Yerevan. The priority is given to increasing the
    competence and educational level and strengthening the capacities of
    Armenian professionals.
