This is how we work. This is how it works!

We often tell you about our work in the villages, the success stories of our students, and community development projects. But who carry out daily work and make those programs a reality often remains behind the scenes. Today, on Labor Day in Armenia, we’d like to bring the special PEOPLE behind COAF’s mission to the fore.

Nairi Zatikyan is our engineer. She’s getting herself some tea before leaving for Debet to see how the constructions of the Debet beauty salon and the “HayPost” branch are nearing completion.

Our Debate Instructor Larisa Mkrtchyan is preparing for the lesson and her everyday trip to Armavir.

Rebecca is one of our communications specialists. She is busy preparing the monthly newsletter. By the way, do you get them?

People who make SMART “a dream school.”

They are the first to know and take care of the needs of our beneficiaries. The teams of our psychologists and the Child Development Corner of the SMART Center.

Emma Vardanyan is the social worker of the newly-opened Child and Family Center in Hatsik village. Meetings with our beneficiaries now take place in such an intimate environment.

During the war and epidemic, many of us, regardless of the nature of the work, were busy packing humanitarian aid for our villages. Our driver Edgar was among the support team.

Once a COAFian, forever a COAFian. Us in 2019.

Whenever we get together, we build, create, and imagine.
