NOUBARASHEN SCHOOL #11 TO RECEIVE ORCHARD FROM HSBC BANK ARMENIA AND
`ARMENIA TREE PROJECT’

YEREVAN–.This Sunday, November 7, 2004, the children of the
Noubarashen School #11 for the mentally disabled will have the
opportunity to beautify their school grounds with the help of their
friends from HSBC bank and the Armenia Tree Project. This is planting
initiated by HSBC Bank as a part of their community outreach. A total
of one hundred trees, including 30 apricot, 5 quince, 30 apple, 20
peach, and 15 cherry trees will be planted at the event, scheduled to
begin at 11.00 a.m. The Republic of Armenia’s Ministry of Science and
Education oversees the Noubarashen School #11, a school that provides
accommodations and nutrition for 125 students, 110 of whom are
permanent residents.

Over the past five years, HSBC and the Armenia Tree Project have
successfully collaborated on similar tree planting projects.
Together, they provided the Noragyugh Rehabilitation Center with a
total of four hundred trees in 2000, 2001 and 2002 years. To date,
these seedlings are thriving, with an above average survival rate of
72%. Since its first Armenian branch opened in March of 1996, the
HSBC group has shown support for both education and the environment.
Sunday’s event at the Noubarashen School #11 will serve as a forum for
the integration of these two ideals.
