5th Anniversary Special Edition May 2008

The Armenia School Foundation (ASF USA) was founded in May 2003, in Glendale California, as a non-profit and non sectarian organization. ASF provides new and sturdy furniture to schools across Armenia to enhance all students’ learning environment, enabling them to succeed.

Over the past five years, ASF has expanded its operation through continuous fundraising activities. Since its inception, with the strong support of the Armenian community, over 180 schools in 11 regions have received new classroom furniture.

Various supporters have praised ASF’s focus, dedication, and effective work. Its credibility has resulted in receiving funds from organizations such as the Armenian Educational Foundation, the Sunrise Rotary Club of Glendale and Rotary Pasadena; collaborating with Glendale Ghapan Sister City Association, the Rural Development Program of Armenia Fund, Inc, Armenian-American Chamber of Commerce and Homenetmen Glendale Ararat Chapter.

The Armenia School Foundation’s 5th Anniversary Gala in May of 2008 commemorates the demonstration of a strong belief in the bright future of Armenia and Karabagh by enhancing the educational environment of the future generations.

Dear Armenia School Foundation Supporters,

Since its inception, in May 2003, Armenia School Foundation (ASF) has managed to continue and expand its operation substantially by completely refurnishing close to 180 schools in all regions of Armenia and Karabagh.

It is a pleasure and a privilege to serve as the Chairman of ASF, and work with a dedicated group of volunteers, and members of the Board of Directors, who believe in ASF’s mission and strive to make a difference in the lives of the future generation.

The Honorary Board members have been an integral part of our efforts with whom we share our accomplishments. We have benefited from their support and input, for which we extend them our appreciation.

Our ASF staff in Armenia has managed to overcome enormous challenges during the last five years, and we thank them for their hard work.

I am proud of our recent partnerships with various organizations such as Armenian Education Foundation, which has been our largest supporter to date. Our close collaboration with the Glendale-Ghapan Sister City Association resulted in refurnishing a school in the city of Ghapan. We reenergized our ties to Armenia Fund by becoming a partner in the Rural Development Program. Our meetings with Deputy Minister of Education laid the groundwork for future projects. Our gratitude to Homenetmen Glendale Ararat Chapter, Armenian-American Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Sunrise Rotary Club of Glendale, and Rotary Club of Pasadena for their continued support. Many of you have stated that ASF is very unique because of its focus and effectiveness. We extend our gratitude to all the supporters who share in our beliefs and through their contributions help us remain a viable organization.

Together we can make a big difference and build a better learning environment for our children in Armenia and Karabagh.

Dear ASF Board Members,

I have just had a phone conversation with Mr. Khachatryan, Minister of Education of Karabagh, who informed me of the arrival of the new furniture. As we Armenians say in such cases- tanjanqnerid apashkharanq.Let me again reiterate our warmest regards to you and all those involved in this crucial project. With best wishes,

Edward Atanesyan


I recall the wonderful time we had in Armenia, especially when we visited the school we had sponsored, in memory of my late brother, Seroj Mirbegian. It was a very emotional day for me and my sister.The school was very nice and we were greeted with a lot of warmth. The principal took us to every single class, where the students welcomed us with a song. A “Haykakan” breakfast was prepared during which the principal talked about the school, and of other difficulties and challenges. Yet he was quick to mention that the brand new chairs and desks was a breath of fresh air, and how it has boosted everyone’s’ spirits. I really enjoyed my trip and that visit was the highlight of the entire trip.Thank You,

Armine Mirbegian

Dear ASF,

Please allow me to use this opportunity to thank you so much for your generous help in supplying Stepanakert School #1 with the necessary school furniture. Needless to say how very happy both teachers and school children were to receive them. I could judge it by Tigran’s happiness. He was thrilled to hear the news. It makes such a difference

to the school. Do accept their great thanks and blessings too.

Again, many thanks for your generosity. Take care and much love,

Inna Ghoukassian, Former First Lady of Karabagh

Dear Board Members,

We have received your confirmation, as well as signed papers and documents from Armenia regarding the renovation of the Art School in Spitak. On behalf of the whole family we thank Armenia School Foundation as well as your contacts in Armenia, for your guidance and renovation of this school in memory of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Dr. Hovik Kiureghian.Wishing you continued success in the future,

The Kiureghian Family



I received all the pictures and documents you sent me regarding the new tables and chairs for the Muratsani School. I want to thank you all so much for guiding me to aid in the correct manner; it is wonderful to visually see the fruits of our labors. Very special thanks to Anahid Sarian for thoroughly following this process through. I know you did not leave the minutest detail unexamined. I appreciate it.

Warmest Regards, Alice Navasargian


Please accept this donation on behalf of my grandson, Sammy Sarian who voluntarily donated $60.00, from his piggy bank to pay for a desk to any of the schools in Armenia.

Best Regards, Mrs. Sarian
