Atken Armenian Children's Choir - Vayots Dzor (Armenia)

The Atken Armenian Foundation (AAF) was created in 2009 soon after the passing of Dr. Atken Armenian - Armenian-Canadian educator, humanitarian and lover of music who spent the last 14 years of his life in Armenia. Our mission is to continue his charitable work in Armenia, the most cherished being to create opportunities for students, families and musicians in need. He helped hundreds of individuals in Armenia and has a permanent place in the memory of many.

The Foundation's mission is to establish children's choirs and thus provide musical education to under-privileged children. In the process, we seek to discover, encourage and give financial assistance to exceptional talent in the regions of Armenia. Board members include professional musicians and proven music administrators. Progress is monitored closely and the results already show.

Our goal is to set up sustainable / enduring programs in all the regions of Armenia, including Artsakh. Two programs are already running in the Kotayk and Vayots Dzor regions (this video shows the choir from the latter). By hiring professional choir masters - two to date - we provide a music education to whole communities.

For this we need long term commitments from donors. All funds collected are used to benefit of the children; no deductions are made for our administrative teams.

Join our efforts by making your tax-deductible donation today. Donations are welcome from anyone, anywhere in the world, who believes in direct support for regional initiatives. Contact us for transfer details either to Canada or to Armenia.

Should you have any suggestions or questions; please do contact us at infoaaf@yahoo.ca
