School-construction project in Chapar Village nears completion
The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is putting the finishing touches on a new
school it is building in Chapar, a village in Artsakh’s Martakert Region.
The project was made possible by the financial support of the Armenia-based
businessman Varuzhan Grigoryan. It is co-financed by the Nagorno-Karabakh
government.
The two-story campus, which can accommodate up to 84 students, will open its
doors by summer 2014, so that the community’s 40 schoolchildren will start
the new academic year in the newly constructed structure.
School principal Irina Sevumyan said that her students often participate in
scholastic competitions in Armenia and Artsakh, as a rule excelling at them.
“Without a doubt, the pleasant and nurturing environment of the new campus
will contribute to the enthusiasm of our schoolchildren and foster academic
achievement,” Sevumyan said. “It remains to hope that we will have a larger
number of students in the coming years.”
Currently crews are working on the interior decoration of the new school.
The 940-square-meter building will be equipped with a central-heating
system, complete with an adjacent boiler room, and will feature a
playground.
With a population of 305 today, Chapar is one of Artsakh’s oldest
communities, celebrated for historic landmarks such as the Hakarakaberd
Castle and the Red Church. The village is the site of another project
implemented by the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, a close-to-four-kilometer
water pipeline, completed in 2012, which has since provided the community
with regular access to potable water.
