Artsakh Rebirth: 3 New Schools and a Renovated Kindergarten for Mardakert
Support A1+!Yerevan, Apr. 20, 2007: Recently the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund completed 2 projects in Mardakert. Now the village of Madaghis has a new school and Haterk has a renovated kindergarten. By September 2007, school construction in villages of Kochoghot and Verin Horatagh will be completed too.
Having a school building was central for the village of Madaghis, where up till now classes were held in container houses. With the financial assistance of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Toronto affiliate, a donation of 264 thousand US dollars (104 million AMD), a three-floor school with adjacent sanitary units and a boiler house was constructed to accommodate 120 students.
A similar three-floor building will open its doors for the schoolchildren of Kochoghot next September. Currently a run-down building with no heating, adapted to minimal schooling needs serves the village as a school. On funding received from the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund France affiliate the first two floors and the basement of the school building is completed; the attic is sill under construction.
The construction of the school building in Verin Horatagh is also underway. A new, three-floor building will soon replace the half-ruined village school built in the 1930s. The project is financed by the Toronto affiliate of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.
The France affiliate of the Fund will furnish the Kochghout school and in collaboration with the St. Etienne city hall has donated 11.5 million AMD (29.4 USD) worth of furniture and sport facilities equipment to the Haterk school. The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund Toronto affiliate has furnished the newly built Madaghis school and will soon furnish the Verin Horatagh school. The Mardakert school number 1 has also been furnished due to various donations from France.
Therefore, education in Hadrut is improving due to the Artsakh Rebirth imitative.
