The Armenia School Foundation (ASF USA) Celebrates Its 2009 Achievements
And Honors Two Board Members For Six Years of Dedicated Service.
Glendale, California, February 1, 2010- The Armenia School Foundation (ASF
USA), a non profit organization dedicated to refurnishing schools in
Armenia and Karabagh, hosted an intimate cocktail reception on January
24th, at Ararat Center in Glendale.
At the commencement of the reception, Armen Abrahamian, chairman of the
board, announced the completion of six more school projects, in 2009.
A generous donation by Mr. & Mrs. Onnik and Mariette Muradian sponsored
the delivery of new furniture to Mergastan and Baghramyan village schools
in Armavir. A group of ASF supporters sponsored the delivery of new sets
to schools in the villages of Vanand and Aygeshad in Armavir, and villages
of Katnaghbyur and Tsilqar in Aragatsotn regions. A total of 411 brand new
student two-chair/ desk sets and 58 teacher desk/chair sets were delivered
to all six schools.
`Similar to many other nonprofit organizations, ASF was also impacted by
the global economic crisis but we still were able to complete six school
projects in 2009. Thanks to our supporters, we have provided over 9000
sets of new school furniture to about 200 schools in Armenia and Artsakh.'
said Armen Abrahamian, chairman of the board.
During the reception two distinguished board members Ms. Anahid Sarian,
vice president, and Mrs. Janet Mirzayan, treasurer, were honored for their
valuable contributions, long term commitment and volunteer work for ASF,
since its inception in May of 2003.
`Both ladies have been pioneers in their work and have achieved a lot for
ASF and the Armenian community for a number of years' stated Mr.
Abrahamian. `We dedicate this evening to both to celebrate their
achievements and honor their work.'
Ara Carapetian, a former board member, in his congratulatory letter to
both honorees wrote; `Anahid and Janet are the best examples of Armenian
women who know the future of the Armenian nation is with its young
generation. They gave so much of their time and energy to facilitate
creation of a new generation of better educated young Armenian.'
Present at the reception were close friends and family members for both
honorees, as well as past donors and members of several organizations such
as Homenetmen Glendale Ararat Chapter, Armenian Relief Society, Iranahye
Organization, and Glendale- Ghapan Sistercity Association.
The Armenia School Foundation (ASF USA) is a nonprofit and non-sectarian,
501 3 organization, founded in May 2003. ASF USA strives to provide new
furniture for underprivileged schools in remote regions of Armenia and
