This Month at The Paros Foundation – August 2025

It’s Harvesting Season!

The students of Nerkin Karmir Aghbyur are learning how to harvest in their living classroom, the orchard beside their school. This time they are making dried fruit and preserves from their harvest. Not only does this orchard provide valuable hands-on lessons for the children, it also provides nourishment. All of the food harvested will be used by the school for the children’s meals.  We are proud that the orchard is fulfilling its mission of giving back to the community in more                      ways than one!

Nourishing Armenia Teaches Healthy Recipes
The children of Debi Arach most recently learned to make tourshi, sarma, and so much more with their spring veggies. The students were so excited to be part of the process, and most importantly enjoying the food they prepared! The summer program did come to an end, but the kids can’t wait to start their hands-on experience again soon!

Creating Vibrant Border Communities
for Displaced Artsakh Refugees
Paros Executive Director, Peter Abajian, was a guest on CivilNet News to discuss our work with Artsakh refugees through our Artsakh Refugee Support Fund. Our goal is to house as many families as possible to give them a new start. Watch the full interview here.

CivilNet – Visiting Goris
Seeing Armenia through different lenses is always a growing experience. That is why when Minahil Arif joined our trip to Goris for her first article as a journalist at CivilNet, we were honored to show her what life was really like for the border communities we had been tirelessly working to help. Thank you Minahil for providing insight on the families who fled Artsakh, those who lost someone dear to them, and for those who lost their communities. Read the full article here.

Drink wine and support Med-Aid Armenia this November 7-9! Join us in Paso Robles for an unforgettable weekend enjoying wine, food, and great company, all in support of a great cause! Space is limited so reserve your spot now.
