Aknashen, Armenia--The Paros Foundation successfully completed its
Multipurpose Classroom Project at the Aknashen School for Children
with Speech Disabilities, one of its 100 for 100 Projects for
Prosperity, through the generous sponsorship of Adam & Rita Kablanian
(CA), Paul & Esther Kulhanjian (MI) and Paul & Sosy Hachigian
(CA). The Paros Foundation underwrote all administrative expenses
allowing the sponsor contributions to be spent 100% on the project.
"For these kids, speech therapy is the only shot they have at avoiding
a life of difficulties." Said Peter Abajian, Executive Director of The
Paros Foundation. "Successfully addressing this issue will enable them
to enjoy a normal primary education."
The School, which is located in the village of Aknashen in the Armavir
province of Armenia, provides speech therapy to children ages 3 to
7. The Aknashen School is the only school specializing in speech
therapy in the region, and is housed in a building provided to the
School by the Village Municipality.
With this facility now, they can meet today's demand and fulfill the
needs of tomorrow's children. The Aknashen School has become a happy
place where children can obtain their needed therapy. In the winter
months and during inclement weather, the classroom provides a
comfortable play area for the children as well. Local villagers were
engaged with this project and donated their time, resources and
talents to the successful implementation of this project, and when
possible, both local materials and labor was used to help stimulate
the local economy.
Many classrooms throughout Armenia's schools remain in deplorable
conditions and with your help, we can fix this one classroom at a
time. Children should not have to learn in these conditions. Because
of substandard doors and windows, many classrooms become unusable in
the winter months because of the cold. Please make a generous
contribution today in your family's name and lets work together to
meet this important need. When in Armenia, Paros will arrange a visit
and tour of your project. Donations can be made online via credit card
or via check made payable to: The Paros Foundation, 918 Parker Street,
A14, Berkeley, CA 94710.
The Paros Foundation expresses its deepest appreciation to the
Kablanian, Kulhanjian and Hachigian Families for their generous
support of this effort. A video regarding this project can be viewed

Officially launched in 2006, The Paros Foundation has identified and
partnered with six organizations in Armenia (The Paros Chamber Choir (
www.paros.am) [http://www.paros.am/], Unison NGO ( www.unison.am
[http://www.unison.am/]), Vanadzor Arts School ( www.vanadzormusic.org

leaders in their respective fields of children, people with
disabilities and the arts. Foundation support comes in the form of
organizational operating funds, office space and organizational
resources and mentoring. The mission is to help these modest size
projects manage their growth and attract more financial, human, and
physical resources to their respective causes.
To honor the centennial of the Armenian Genocide, the Paros Foundation
is launched The Paros 100 Projects for Prosperity Program to benefit
Armenia and her people. 100 pre-screened, projects in the areas of
