November, 2013 San Francisco, CA-Recently, two new pianos were donated
to the Kanakeravan Art School by the St. Johns Armenian Church
parishioners and their Sayat Nova Cultural Committee.
In honor of the first year Anniversary of the ordination of the
Rev. Father Mesrob Ash, the Church held a Gala Concert with proceeds
benefiting the purchase of two new pianos for the Art School in the
village of Kanakeravan in Armenia's Kotayk region. This project was
selected by the Sayat Nova Cultural Committee Members through The
Paros Foundation's 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity list of
projects.
"Students in the village of Kanakeravan were studying piano on
instruments that were in terrible condition." Said Peter Abajian,
Executive Director of The Paros Foundation; "This is the second
project we were able to successfully implement at this music school
thanks to the support of our generous donors and friends."
To both the excitement of the students and teachers the new pianos
were identified, purchased and delivered to the school prior to the
start of the 2013-14 school year. The Paros Foundation expresses its
deepest appreciation to the St. Johns Armenian Church parishioners,
the Sayat Nova Cultural Committee and Rev. Fr. Mesrob Ash for working
to ensure the success of this important project.

organizational operating funds, office space and organizational

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
launched The Paros 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity initiative to
benefit Armenia and her people. 100 pre-screened, projects in the
areas of development, education, cultural and humanitarian will be
implemented to help make Armenia stronger and improve the lives of her
people. The Paros Foundation underwrote all administrative expenses
allowing 100% of donor contributions to go directly to the purchase of
these pianos. Donations to The Paros Foundation, a 501(c)3
