A Playground for Chinchin Kindergarten

Chinchin (Չինչին,) bordering village is located 195KM from Yerevan, in the Tavush region of Armenia. 

Home to 650 residents with 190 households, the villagers’ main source of income is agriculture and livestock. The village has one school (1-12 grade) with 90 students. The kindergarten is home to 30 children.   

The kindergarten was renovated by FAR (Fund for Armenian Relief) in 2014, the re-opening of the kindergarten was one of the most joyous days for all the villagers, both old and young. But unfortunately, the kindergarten was lacking a safe playground for the children to play, be active, and grow up healthy. FCN’s representative, Anahit Kalantaryan, visited the Chinchin kindergarten in January 2019 to meet the gyughabed and the principal, inspect the grounds and verify suitability for playground installation. The local officials agreed to prepare the grounds by leveling the sloped land to make room for the new and safe playground for the kindergarten. As of Fall 2019, Chinchin kindergartners can now safely experience playtime outdoors.
