The Phonathon-2006 of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund
started
Today started the annual phonathon of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund,
already the fourth in succession.
Till November 17, the specialists of the Fund will call nearly
1300 small, medium and large enterprises of Armenia urging them to
contribute to the large project of "Renaissance of Artsakh" launched
by Himnadram. The funds raised during this marathon will be directed
to implementation of the second stage of the project including the
development of Hadrut Region of the NKR. We would like to remind that
the means gathered in Telethon -2005 have been used for reconstruction
and development of the Martakert Region.
On the threshold of the Telethon, the Fund already receives
donations from many individuals, as well as health care, educational
institutions, banks, and other organizations. Donations are coming
from all the marzes of the republic.
The fundraising process is quite active in schools, though this year
we hadn’t applied to them for participation. By their own initiative
the schools raise funds for the project "Renaissance of Artsakh".
We express our deep gratitude to the schools of villages Fioletovo,
Lorut, Neghots, and others who have sent their donations before the
marathon thus showing their support to the pupils and teachers of
the schools to be repaired and constructed in the Hadrut Region.
Tomorrow, the Phonathon will begin in France from where the operators
will phone to several European countries.
The very event of the Telethon will be live broadcast all over the
world on November 23 from Los-Angeles.
