EDUCATIONAL RESTRUCTURING
|
Context
: Mission Enfance
has been working in Armenia since
1993. Many NGOs have deserted this
stagnant region. Yet, humanitarian
work is still necessary, subtitute
for the state's totally failing
social domain... We are planning
the rehabilitation of two new schools
in Karabagh and in Armenia. Also,
facing the penury of school equipment,
we are going to provide benches
and tables to 4 schools rehabilitated
and awaiting for rehabilitation.
Taking the new Armenian laws into
consideration, we are going to create
in these schools, nursery classes
with the necessary equipment for
6 year olds. Also in the school
of Karapert that we have rehabilitated
five years ago, we are planning
to create and equipe an activity
centre for the young people of this
totally isolated village. We have
noticed, throughout these 15 years
of action, the children's progress.
In Gumri, North of the country,
the children supported by our sponsoring
from the Endanik Centre are admitted
to University, thanks to the sponsoring
received during their schooling.
The children of Boghossian Centre
are preparing to become responsible
adults with a solid education in
a moral and intellectual alert environment,
under the responsability of Sister
Arousiag, founder of the Centre.
Our team of 5 people intervenes
in Erevan, the capital, in our French
speaking game library as in the
rest of Armenia by handing out each
year, over 2.000 school kits to
the most isolated schools, by equipping
the orphanages or hospital with
game libraries and by rehabilitating
the school buildings of the country.
Coordination
: Our projects are
coordinated with the Department
of Education and the of Social Affairs.
Among others, the choice of the
schools to rehabilitate is decided
with local authorities in order
to make sure that this investment
will have in return a reinforcement
of the teachers and state means
to perpetuate our effort. Each of
our project is carried outdirectly
by our local team. Distribution
of school kits is done personnaly,
the equipment of game libraries
and rehabilitations of school buildings
in Karabagh and in Armenia are carried
out under the management of our
logistician in coordination with
the villagers.
Control
: A monthly report
(financial and activity) is sent
to the head office. A control mission
takes place once a year. Finally,
the local team is formed of people
with 15 years experience (a coordinator,
a logistician, a youth leader and
two teachers).

Lastly, we welcome children

In
Armenia, country victim
of the cold weather,
obscurity and an embargo
imposed by its neighbours,
the needs are numerous.
Mission
Enfance
with its coordinator,
Levon Gasparian and
team, has handed out
the fuel oil necessary
to the warming of the
country's orphanages.

Regular
aid missions to the 1.334 orphans
