2016 Chess School in Gyumri

2016 Chess School in Gyumri

I would like to thank everyone who helped raise funds to purchase lighting equipment for Tigran Petrosyan Chess School in Gyumri, Armenia. The list of supplies purchased were mentioned in the list below.
The Chess School in Gyumri is responsible for producing the 2nd consecutive year European Youth Chess Champion, Mamikon Gharibyan. (See photos)
The Chess School needed 16 light bulbs to be installed in their hallway. Children practice chess in the hallway in the dark at times. Our Director of Operations in Armenia, Arsen Vardanyan notified our president Araz Boghossian, who happened to be in Armenia about the situation. Araz then went to Gyumri and met with the chess school’s director Mr. Ashot Grigoryan. The director explained what was required to complete the project. He showed Araz an estimated list, which highlighted what was required to have the lights installed (See Photos). The list consisted of light bulbs, light sockets, wires, light switches and screws. The total amounted to $197 CAD (69,000 AMD) (see photos) and so we decided to fund the project. We purchased the material and delivered them to the school via our director of operation in Armenia, Arsen Vardanyan.

Where were the lighting supplies donated to?
