Classroom Renovation – The Levon Bosnoyan Chess Room

Read Updates

Description

The Bosnoyan Family has generously decided to give back to Armenia while memorializing their beloved husband, father, brother and uncle, Levon Bosnoyan. In lieu of flowers, they have decided to adopt a very special classroom in Vanadzor (Kirovakan), Levon’s birthplace. One of Levon’s favorite pastimes was playing chess. It is the family’s hope that by renovating a chess classroom in Levon’s name, they will help give children the opportunity to appreciate the game, just as he did. 

Sponsorship of this project will help raise the funding needed to renovate a chess classroom in a school in Vanadzor.
