EFFICIENT COOPERATION WITH

 CHARITABLE FOUNDATION “ATP”

         21

          This week the students were hosted in the demonstrative seedbed of “ATP” and in the Educational Center of Ecology after Michael and Virginia Ohanyan. The students got acquainted with the seedbed, after which a lesson-discussion was held, dedicated to the problems of global climate change and thermal effect.

          Our last lesson on the subject “Medical Ecology” we conducted outside the classroom. Many of the issues discussed in the classroom received a practical look in nature. At the initiative of our teacher, Hasmik Martikyan, we visited the village of Karin, Ashtarak region. It is here, where the demonstrative seedbed of Armenia Tree Project of the Charitable Foundation “ATP” and the Educational Center after Michael and Virginia Ohanyan are located.

  • Everything was very impressive and interesting. Despite the fact that I myself grew up in one of the villages of the Ararat valley and directly communicated with nature, all that is done for the protection and improvement of nature is admirable. The specialists working here first told us about the 20-year activity of the Charitable Foundation “ATP”. A friend of Armenians, humanist Carolyn Mugar, who arrived in Armenia in the early 1990s, being preoccupied with massive logging, suggested the idea of starting a tree-planting project in Armenia. Thanks to her, Armenia Tree Project was established”, the guide told us.

Then, the works carried out over the past 20 years were presented: millions of trees have been planted in all regions of Armenia, multiple programmes on education and poverty reduction have been implemented. Interesting conversations and discussions were held on various issues. The innovations in the irrigation system are noteworthy, which make it possible to use water sparingly and have more green areas.

  • I was very impressed by the tree, which was more a tree of benefactors, than a family tree. On each leaf of the tree, there was a name of one benefactor, and those names were too many.

Our last lesson on the subject “Medical Ecology” was held in a relaxed atmosphere. When discussing the most varied issues outside the classroom, in nature, next to the caressing greenery, everyone was willing to express his thoughts aloud… After the lesson in the open air, we returned to Yerevan with wonderful impressions.
