This Month at The Paros Foundation – October 2024

Khndzoresk Kindergarten Receives Complete Renovation

Earlier this month representatives from the local community, lead project sponsor, Adrienne Krikorian, representatives of The Paros Foundation and officials of the consolidated community of Goris gathered for the re-opening celebration of Khndzoresk Kindergarten. This renovation will now allow the kindergarten to facilitate the early education for up to 100 children from this important border community.

Two Additional Refugee Families
Get Permanent Homes
The Telyan Family received their home in Meds Masrik, which was the second home they received after having to relocate in 2023. They had originally been given a home through our Emergency Resettlement program in Maghavuz, Artsakh, following the 2020 war. Their family of seven is looking forward to having a stable place to call home.

The Harutunyan Family moved into their home in Geghamasar with parents and six boys. Their family is thankful for this new beginning where their children can thrive.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative for these families. We are proud of all that has been accomplished and the positive impact these efforts continue to make. Our work is not done yet, learn more and donate here!

Nor Geghi Kindergarten Gym Under Way
The work on the Nor Geghi Kindergarten Gym is underway! This renovation will allow 80+ students to enjoy and utilize the space for many fun activities. Learn more about this project here.

Nor Hachen Clinic Update
Thanks to the successful Med-Aid Cuban Night Fundraiser generously hosted by the Haddadian Family, a Slit Lamp Bio Microscope for eye exams was purchased for the clinic’s use. In addition, to improve the quality of management and care, the clinic’s director and emergency medicine doctor both began Master’s programs in their respective fields with scholarships provided by The Paros Foundation.
