The Armenian Relief Society has recently opened another nursery school
in the village of Khndzristan, Askeran.
"It is the 12th nursery school. The sponsor is the Blue Cross of
France.
55 children already go to the nursery school. We are also likely to
involve children from the neighboring village," said Margaret Taranyan,
head of the Artsakh branch of the ARS.
The ARS launched the project of nursery schools in 1996, when after
the war the children of Karabakh needed nursery schools. The first
Sose nursery school opened in Stepanakert, for the children of
killed azatamartiks. Next the ARS opened nursery schools in border
villages. Now there are nursery schools in Stepanakert, Shushi,
Karin Tak, Aigestan, Khndzristan, Karega (Kashatagh), Avdur, Ashan,
Mets Tagher, Togh and Haghorti. Margaret Taranyan said 530 children
go to Sose nursery schools.
"Each nursery school has a sponsor who provides stationery, clothes,
shoes, food. Since there are no more children of killed azatamartiks
who go to nursery school, fortunately, the nursery schools start
to admit children of disabled persons, large families, orphans and
children of underprivileged families. We are opening another nursery
school in the framework of the ARF project in Yeghegnut, Karvachar
on September 1."
The ARS was set up in 1918 in the United States. It is the only
Armenian organization, which is member of the UN Economic and Social
Council. A branch of the ARS was opened in Karabakh in 1996. The
head of the Artsakh branch Margaret Taranyan says women work for the
Society, and any woman aged 18 and up can become a member of the ARS.
"The ARS implements several projects. One of them is the nursery
school project. The second project involves aid to 3000 children of
killed azatamartiks until age 18, 120 U.S. dollars each. The third
project is Yeremian Scholarship. The annual fund is 500 dollars. The
Yeremian family based in the United States help five students every
year. Besides, the ARS opened Sirun Optic in Stepanakert which provides
free services to people. It also provides free glasses. Formerly
it provided services to the families of killed azatamartics, now it
provides services to everyone."
