“The numbers speak for themselves,” said Peter Abajian, Executive Director of The Paros Foundation. “We are eagerly working to identify new projects, advertise them on our website, and secure new potential project sponsors in order to effectively and efficiently implement these sponsored projects in Armenia. During the first 18 months of this campaign, we significantly improved the lives of our brothers and sisters in Armenia with support of our generous donors. As each one of these projects is sponsored and implemented, the memory of our ancestors is honored in a way that we believe is positive and appropriate.”
