SEVAN, APRIL 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The official opening ceremony
of Galik kindergarten No4 in Sevan, Gegharkunik marz, took
place. The kindergarten was renovated through the U.S. Embassy
and USAID-funded Community Self-Help Fund (CSHF) program, which
is implemented by Save the Children. Representatives of the US
Embassy, USAID, Save the Children, Gegharkunik Marzpetaran,
Sevan local government and the community participated in the
event.
According to the information submitted to Noyan Tapan, the
roof, kitchen, playrooms and sleeping rooms of the building were
renovated, windows were glazed, and the heating system was fully
replaced. The total cost of the project was USD 30,000 of which
USD 19,300 was provided by the Community Self-Help Fund, while
USD 10,700 (about 35.5% of the project cost) was contributed by
Sevan community in form of labor and construction materials.
According to the same source, the Galik kindergarten built
in 1976 did not function from 1994 because of the building's
deteriorated state and lack of necessary conditions for
kindergarten's operations. In 1999 given the necessity of
creating conditions for the pre-school age children's care and
education, the town municipality decided to re-open the
kindergarten, and some renovation was performed.
