I�m completing some of my list of things to do � unfortunately, the logging on cilicia.com has always fallen to the wayside��
So the 2nd round of elections is next Wednesday and a few of us have signed up, and been accepted, as observers � obviously, not being from Aussie or Kiwi land! It should be very interesting, particularly with respect to the reports, which have been circulating from the 1st round observers.
Work is progressing, there�s a lot of it and it seems to never end � but then, that�s always a good indication of what�s going on around here. A lot of extra projects seem to be cropping up, which, if they�re realized, could be quite exciting. One interesting project is that we�re hoping to organize a Northern Ireland football (soccer) team match against some orphanage children, when they come to Armenia at the end of March for a Armenia-Northern Ireland official match � together with the British Council and some football supporters who�ve been busy fundraising in Northern Ireland these last few weeks. There�s another even more exciting project�..but that is only in its initial stages and hence I�ll report back in a few months.
I went back to the UK for a few weeks recently, and have hopefully managed to intiate a choir tour for Hover chamber choir for this coming September 2003. It should encompass London, Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh and also possibly Glasgow � all in absolutely beautiful concert venues and hopefully some interesting workshops which will allow the general public to participate in singing Armenian music. When things get confirmed and organized, further information will be released��watch this space and the Hover website
Also, in a few days time, the new Spring Wish List, for people wishing to donate to worthy and inspiring causes in Armenia, will be uploaded. If there is anyone who is wishing to donate, please don�t hesitate to point them to : www.arlex.am/wishlist.htm . Armenia is growing, and is looking toward a bright future � you can all help to have been part of its development.
Outside of work, life�s equally interessant � making English apple pies with old friends, watching a random play called Miss Hayastan which Antoine (one of the volunteers) suggested we go and watch�hmmmm, listening to the Armenian Chamber Orchestra in a very nice warm, comfy-seated (first concert I've been to here where I was able to fall asleep;-)) cinema hall, playing Monopoly with some extreme capitalists, an amusing evening in Monte Cristo with Keri, some of the Arlex boys, our new boy on the block Haro Setian, and guests, oh, and I�m still continuing with my Armenian classes � that dream is still there, it�s gradually becoming more realistic�..!
PS Here�s a photo (if I can get it uploaded) of the time Hover sang at Oshagan, at the Feast of St Thaddeus & Bartholomew.
