YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian School charity fund plans to continue donating school property - desks, blackboards and other necessary things to 333 schools of Armenia and Artsakh in the future. Levon Aharonian, Chairman of fund's Board of Trustees, said this at the November 10 press conference. He said that lately the fund gave school desks intended for 9400 pupils to schools that were in hard financial position. In L.Aharonian's words, the primary goal of the fund functioning since 2003 is especially to assist Armenian and Artsakh border schools by giving them pupils' and teachers' desks and chairs. "Is is no secret what depression shabby and broken property can cause among children entering school for the first time," the Chairman of the fund's Board of Trustees said. For the present, needy schools have received 6000 pupils desks thanks to the Armenian School. He said that the materials needed for making school property are bought by the fund abroad and are made at local enterprises. Levon Aharonian said that the fund obtains resources thanks to fund-raisings. RA Minister of Education and Science Levon Mkrtchian appreciating the fund's work and donations regretted to say that only Diasporan benefactors are included in the fund, while in Armenia we also have some persons who "if they wish can provide part of their sums for native school building."
