As it was mentioned in the report provided to Noyan Tapan by the Fund, lately each family has received 2-7 apricot trees.

Bryan and Rosie Bedrosians, cooperating with the Fund since 2004, have founded an apricot hotbed in Karakert. The program's goal was to give the young plants grown in the hotbed to the local farmers. In total, 14729 trees have been given out to the families of the Model Grouping of Villages thanks to the assistance of the Bedrosians.
