    KALCIYAN FAMILY CONTINUES TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN KHACHARDZAN

    13:58 22/10/2014 >> SOCIETY

    Hayastan All-Armenian Fund benefactors Mr. and Mrs. Arto and Hilda
    Kalciyan of Argentina continue to support vital development projects in
    Khachardzan, a village in Armenia's Tavush Region. Following the recent
    opening of Khachardzan's health clinic and multifunctional events
    hall, both of which were built with the support of the Kalciyans,
    the benefactors have also provided funds for the extensive renovation
    of the community's school, the press service of Hayastan All-Armenian
    Fund reports.

    For the duration of the school's reconstruction, the mayor's building
    will serve as a makeshift campus for the 66 students.

    To date, the Kalciyan's have made possible several initiatives in
    Khachardzan, which has a population of close to 400. In June of this
    year, they donated various school supplies, including school bags and
    stationery, to the community's students, and, most recently, provided
    financial assistance to four local families with newborn babies. The
    Kalciyans have pledged continued assistance to such families.

    "Hundreds of villages in Armenia need our care and support," Arto
    Kalciyan has said in an appeal to the Argentinean-Armenian community.

    "Perhaps we've been responding to that need with silent indifference.

    Life has been extremely difficult in those villages and today they
    continue to face a number of major issues. Children who were born
    in such villages are the babies of our homeland, Armenians like
    us. Isn't it time for us to join forces and turn our good intentions
    into tangible actions, as a united people?"

    According to Khachardzan mayor Gagik Shahnazaryan, the Kalciyans
    have also expressed their willingness to support the development of
    beekeeping in the community.

    "Although Mr. and Mrs. Kalciyan have joined the family of the Hayastan
    All-Armenian Fund only recently, they have already made possible
    several development projects in the border village of Khachardzan,"
    said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the fund. "The initiatives
    they have sponsored are so far-reaching that the grateful community
    has named its benefactors Honorary Citizens of Khachardzan."
