    The Nork Children's Home Has a New Roof

    Yerevan, May 2, 2007 - The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund completed the
    reconstruction of the roof of the Yerevan Children's Home. The renovation of
    the 1191 sq. m roof was sponsored by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund
    Australia affiliate with a 13 million AMD donation.
    The roof was last renovated in 1984; the sheds were fairly damaged. Today,
    both buildings of the Yerevan Children's Home have fire resistant roofs and
    new shades.
    In January 2006, the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund installed central gas
    heating in the Children's Home. The project was sponsored by the Hayastan
    Fund US East Coast affiliate, on funds donated by Hagop Giritlian.
    the principal of institute, Lena Karapetyan says, `There are 41 newborns and
    35 children under the age of 5 living at the Children's Home. Not doubt,
    heated rooms are essential for them. So far, we depended on electric
    heaters, which was costly and inefficient. Now the whole building is well
    heated. The renovation of the roof was another priority for us to deal with'
    .
    Thanks to this initiative the Yerevan Children's Home is now a warmer place
    for children to live in.
