Renow ned Artists Support Armenia School Foundation
Glendale, California October 21, 2007 - The Armenia School Foundation (ASF
USA), a non-profit organization dedicated to refurnishing schools in
Armenia, hosted a successful fundraising cocktail reception and art show
at the Ararat Center.
Vahe Berberian, Samvel Saghatelian, and Vachik Ter Sarkissian (Vachag)
brought a variety of wonderful pieces to help raise funds for ASF's new
projects, and contributed a portion of the proceeds to the foundation's
projects. The art show was beautifully coordinated by Aida Babajanian, and
supported by ASF's donors and friends who were delighted by the experience
of being amidst a range of collectable art pieces. It also attracted a
number of avid fans of the artists who were eager to view their latest
collections. `They came to be enchanted by the art work, and were
introduced and moved by our mission' said Armen Abrahamian, chairman of
the ASF board.
Among many supporters and friends were representatives of Armenian Relief
Society (ARS), Armenian Educational Relief Foundation (AERF), American
Armenian Chamber of Commerce, and Focus on Children Now. In his welcoming
remarks, Mr. Abrahamian gave an update of ASF's 2007 accomplishments such
as delivery of 1,100 sets of new desks and chairs to seven schools in
Armenia and Karabagh, and securing donor commitments for 10 school
projects for 2008. In addition, ASF Board members met with All Armenian
Himnadram Executive Director, Vahe Aghabegian and Vice Minister of
Education, Bagrat Yessayan in October to better serve the needs in
Armenia. `We have a challenging road ahead of us, but with your continued
support, and future collaborations, ASF USA will achieve its goals'. `The
reception proved to be a moral and financial success and ASF is especially
proud and thankful for the effort and cooperation of all our friends and
artists who have worked extremely hard to bring their wonderful art to all
of us' stated Armen Abrahamian, chairman of the Board.
The Armenia School Foundation (ASF USA) is a non profit 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
