Providing education for 150 children in Armenia

Dear Donors,

Thanks to your donations. We are continuing to support school-aged children living in rural communities of Armenia.

In remote communities of Armenia, people live in extreme poverty. Expending great effort, families try to make a living and earn their daily bread. All of this has a negative impact on children living in these families, as they often have to help their parents with their tasks and usually end up skipping school in the process. In order to prevent this and motivate these children to continue their education, we provide them with psychosocial support.

Our team and the pre-selected pedagogical staff regularly organize informal meetings with students, during which the beneficiaries are provided with the necessary school-based knowledge and life skills.

Here are the results of our meeting with them, the participants' impressions, and the progress of the program.

This meeting was focused on Armenia itself. During the individual work portion, participants were given a map of Armenia and asked to mark their favorite city or region. This gives us the opportunity to listen to the beneficiaries and understand why each person designates a specific place as their favorite in the country. The children excitedly presented their work and gained knowledge.

During the teamwork portion, participants were instructed to describe Armenian schools. They were asked to draw on a poster everything that reminded them of their community schools.

Dear Donors,

We would like to inform you that the names of all project participants were changed in order to protect their privacy.

We would like to present to you the story of one of our beneficiaries, Lia.

"Hello, I'm Lia. I dream of becoming a designer. I love my school and my friends and I often meet with them, where we sing, dance, and recite poetry. I like to study foreign languages, especially English and Russian. In my free time, I read books and I help my mom. I also love participating in sports. I believe our youth are enthusiastic and diligent. Remember that each of your gestures is very important to us because we live with a great hope for a bright future. We will build new communities. They are waiting for you. Thank you for your generosity."

Dear donor,

Thanks to you, we continue to implement this program in remote communities and villages of Armenia.

With your support, the process of providing Basic Education for schoolchildren continues. Education has become a priority for our beneficiaries. Your donations are directed towards ensuring their stable and bright future. Our team and the pre-selected pedagogical staff regularly organize non-formal meetings where beneficiaries are provided with the necessary knowledge and skills required by the school curriculum.

Some of these children, living in difficult social conditions, perform various activities, help their parents earn money, and even perform work requiring physical strength. All this hinders their normal learning process and they miss their lessons.

During these meetings, they have the opportunity to work both in a team and individually. During teamwork, they have the opportunity to listen to friends, listen to their opinions and suggestions, and build a civilized relationship with the other. This is another important aspect of this project - to instill respect, patriotism, and sense of responsibility amongst the stakeholders.

   Dear donor,

We present you one of our beneficiaries, Maria's story, her impressions of the program and her message to donors.

Hello, I'm Maria. I live in Arapi community of Shirak region. This program gives me the opportunity to communicate with my friends in a warm environment. I think my community will prosper because this program creates all the conditions and opportunities for that.

Once again, thank you, dear donors, and remember that your every gesture is important for our team and our beneficiaries. There are new communities and new successes ahead. Continue making your donations. We are confident that this program will be expanded day by day thanks to you.

Best regards,

Silva Vardanyan+Zartonk-89 Team
