Nor Ughi Second Grade Classroom Renovation
Description
Nor Ughi Village is located in Armenia’s Ararat Region and is home to the Vedi Alcohol Company. Almost 2,000 people call Nor Ughi and neighboring Ginevet Village their home. Many in these villages are employed at Vedi Alcohol factory or are engaged in agricultural activities.Â
170 students attend the village school, including eight displaced students from Artsakh. The students are from both the neighboring villages of Ginevet and Nor Ughi. Over the last two years, the school’s gym was renovated, and a high-quality outdoor soccer field was constructed and most recently the school’s science laboratory, teacher’s lounge and first grade classroom was renovated through the continued leadership of Mr. and Mrs. John & June Mangassarian from Rhode Island and they want to continue positively impacting Nor Ughi.
Next on the list of priorities is the renovation of a large classroom that serves the school’s second grade class. Â The scope of work will include the complete renovation of the room’s flooring, walls, electrical and lighting. Â

The Need
Currently, the Nor Ughi School’s classrooms are in poor condition. Â The school leadership hopes its second grade classroom will be renovated to allow the second graders to learn in a safe, clean and inviting surroundings. Â It is important to note that currently the Nor Ughi School has not been identified by the Armenian Government to be included in its immediate plan for school renovations.Â
Short Term Impact
In the short term, second grade students at the Nor Ughi School will receive a newly renovated classroom to more effectively study and begin their education. Â
Long Term Impact
In the long term, the benefit of student’s learning in a clean, safe and comfortable environment directly impacts their level of achievement. This renovation will positively impact hundreds of children over its useful life.Â
Sponsors Benefits
All sponsors of this important project will be listed on The Paros Foundation’s website and in all press related to this project. Visits to these communities can be arranged for sponsors visiting Armenia.
