TARZANA, California—The Marc Tognozzi Memorial Fund, in partnership with The Paros Foundation, recently joined in the efforts to fund a project to build a home for a Syrian Armenian family in the village of Ishkhanadzor in Artsakh’s Kashatagh region.
“Armenia and Artsakh have a tremendous opportunity to help Armenians from Syria who wish to repatriate,” said Esther Tognozzi. “By helping a family move into a permanent home in Artsakh, it will give them a firm base from which to launch their new lives.”
More than a dozen Syrian Armenian families are living in temporary conditions in Ishkhanadzor waiting for a new home. Many partially destroyed homes in this village are awaiting restoration in order to be given to a family. The Paros Foundation hopes to launch construction prior to the onset of winter, with the goal of having a home ready for a family in the spring.
With the ongoing support of family and friends, the Marc Tognozzi Memorial Fund has provided critical funding for several projects in Armenia including: support for families of the fallen soldiers from the four-day war; The free Apelian Dental Clinic at the Prkutyun Special Children’s Center, which provides free dental services to disabled children and impoverished families living in the Shengavit community of Yerevan; the renovation of two classrooms at the Hatsik Village School; winter boots for children in need via the Share-a-Pair project; relief efforts in Kessab; and, firewood for heating and cooking for impoverished families in Gyumri.
The Paros Foundation underwrites all administrative expenses, thus allowing 100% of all contributions to be allocated directly to these projects. The Paros Foundation would like to thank the Tognozzi Family, their extended family and friends for their continued support.
