The Fight Against Rural Poverty

Moving on to new news. Today I received my Armenia Fund 2006 Telethon mailer. Per the usual, the annual campaign will take place on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 23, 2006. Efforts this year will aid large-scale development initiatives in the Hadrut Region to "enhance the socio-economic standards of the 12,000 residents... as well as combat rural poverty". Project components to do this include Agricultural Development, Irrigation and Drinking Water Systems, Hospital and Emergency Care, and Education. For 15 years Armenia Fund has been working toward developing a sustainable infrastructure in Armenia and Karabakh with large-scale projects that it undertakes.
