    IMPROVEMENTS CONTINUE AT THE HATSIK VILLAGE SCHOOL


    Armavir Region, Armenia--The Paros Foundation, and its SERVICE Armenia 2014
    group continued to improve the conditions at the Hatik village school.

    With the generous support of donors and SERVICE Armenia volunteers, five
    additional classrooms, the corridor and one additional restroom at the
    Hatsik village school were renovated during summer 2014. This brings the
    total to ten new classrooms and three restrooms in the Hatsik village
    school. These projects are part of The Paros Foundation's 100 for 100
    Projects for Prosperity. A total of 80 projects have been funded since the
    fall of 2011.

    The Hatsik municipality and school administration continued to support the
    building improvement efforts by contributing both financial and human
    resources. The upgrades to the classrooms include: new doors and windows,
    laminate and tile flooring, chalkboards, window blinds, electrical upgrades
    and renovated desks. The Paros Foundation underwrote all administrative
    expenses allowing 100% of donor contributions to go directly to this
    project.

    "We are actively seeking donors to sponsor the completion of the final
    phase at the Hatsik school by sponsoring the renovation of the school gym.
    " Said Peter Abajian, Paros Foundation Executive Director. "We are hoping
    to have the funds raised in time to complete the gym this summer."

    The Paros Foundation established SERVICE Armenia to provide young people
    between the ages of 16 and 24 the opportunity to engage in meaningful
    service work while having fun in Armenia. Participants spent one month
    working on a variety of projects and touring Armenia and Artsakh, all while
    developing life long friendships and having fun. Applications for this
    summer's program are currently available.

    Children of Armenia Fund, our partner on this project undertook the
    complete renovation of the second building on the school's campus.

    To sponsor this important project or to learn more about participating in
    the SERVICE Armenia 2015 program please visit www.parosfoundation.org
