Prior to the program’s implementation, during a meeting between Mher Hovhannisyan, the foundation’s director, and the administration of Sisian Primary School No. 2, school representatives requested essential books for their library. Responding to this request, the foundation donated 83 titles from its reserve fund. The other 12 schools each received 49 new books, purchased as part of the 2024 program.
Throughout the project, the foundation collaborated with the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports of the Syunik Regional Administration to ensure proper distribution and effective use of the books.
The “Book at the Border” program has been operating since 2021 and will continue its mission to support education and nurture the next generation.
