FAR is very thankful for the contributions of the late benefactor Armen Bedikian. Dr. Bedikian was born in the region of Sebastia, in Historical Armenia, and he has contributed substantial funds to a range of organizations, with the aim of improving education for the young generation of Armenians. One institution supported by Dr. Bedikian is the No. 89 secondary school Daniel Varujan, located in Yerevan. The school has nearly 1,200 enrolled students, and was in need of a new boiler. Thanks to funds donated by the late benefactor Dr. Bedikian, FAR purchased and installed a new modern boiler at the School. Additionally, a separate chimney and two circular pumps were installed. Finally, additional funds were allocated to equip one of the computer rooms in the school with 16 computers and 1 Xerox machine.
