Kanakeravan, Armenia--The Paros Foundation successfully completed its Kanakeravan Art School Bathroom Project in the village of Kanakeravan, Kotayk province, one of its 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity, through the generous sponsorship of Adam & Rita Kablanian (CA) and Shahen & Arax Hairapetian (CA). The Paros Foundation underwrote all administrative expenses allowing the sponsor contributions to be spent 100% on the project. "The Art School provides afterschool classes in the fine arts, dance, and music (both classical and folk)," said Peter Abajian, Executive Director of The Paros Foundation. "Having a dignified bathroom at the school is important for both the students and staff." The School, which was built in 1992, provides classes to 123 students from both the village of Kanakeravan and a neighboring village. The residents of Kanakeravan have a deep appreciation for the arts and truly appreciate their facility. |
