FOUNDATION ASKS FOR DONATION TO MAKE SCHOOL FURNITURE
Levon Lazarian, minister of education and science,
complained in a press conference today that only
Diaspora Armenians financially support Hay Dproch
Foundation (Armenian School) and not local business
community and other benefactors. Levon Aharonyan,
chairman of the board of directors of the foundation,
was surprised that support to schools is not
widespread. `There are many rich people here... We must
tell them and educate,' he said.
Hay Dproch Foundation was established in 2003 and put
an aim to provide desks, chairs and blackboards to 500
schools. Until today, the foundation managed to
provide furniture to 133 schools with 12,000
schoolchildren. The furniture is mainly provided to
borderline area schools, including some in Nagorno
Karabakh.
Each desk and chair costs them $50 but because of
depreciation of dollar this sum is not enough.
Therefore the foundation management asks for at least
$60 of donation. /Panorama.am/
