Updates From Tsaghkaber!

• Upon our arrival in the village we received a warm welcome and words of gratitude from all the villagers, especially those with young children.

• The building, which will house the kindergarten, was in a moderate condition but definitely needed some serious renovations. Two spacious rooms in the left wing of the building will serve as a playroom and a bedroom. Additionally we are renovating a room, which will serve as a kitchen. A corridor where kids will change their coats and outside shoes and of course a restroom.

• Renovations are underway!!! Our builder is Armen Hunanyan, a local, born and raised in Tsaghkaber who has two kindergarten age boys. He has been working hard since July 20th to prepare the kindergarten for our week-long summer camp and for the school year.

• We will be working with an amazing nonprofit organizing, called Breathing Walls, composed of volunteer artist who travel and paint the walls of kindergartens, hospitals, and orphanages across Armenia.
• We are excited about the progress we are making and cannot wait till the doors of the kindergarten are officially opened sometime in mid-August.
