Taron II-Kindergarten #40 Renovation

Description

The Taron II community in the city of Vanadzor was built after the devastating 1988 earthquake. Several housing blocks were constructed including a community kindergarten. Currently, the kindergarten is housed in two-section building and in need of minor renovations.

Fortunately the building already has a source of heat and no issues with the roof. Sponsorship of this project will help start renovation work with the kitchen and cafeteria area, as it is the most in need. Our goal is to continue work at this kindergarten once we complete the kitchen and cafeteria renovations.

The Need
Studies show that attending kindergarten is important to students’ success in higher education, as well as for their future success. Renovations to the building will provide them with a safe and warm environment in which to begin their education.
Short Term Impact
The short-term impact of this project will be a new kitchen and cafeteria including new paint, floorings, doors, windows, appliances and furniture. All materials will be purchased in Armenia, thus providing a boost to the local economy. In addition, local residents will be hired whenever possible to complete the construction work, thus providing them with temporary jobs.
Long Term Impact
In the long term, the success of this project will provide a proper facility for current and future young children from Taron II to attend and start their educational journeys.
Sponsors Benefits
Your donation to sponsor the kindergarten renovation in Taron II will be recognized on a plaque in the kindergarten, on The Paros Foundation website and in appropriate press related to this important project. The Paros Foundation will happily arrange a visit to the kindergarten in Taron II when you are in Armenia.
