Trust of this order has been earned through as much hard work as the scale and quality of completed projects. Despite the severe economic downturn that impacted Armenia and the rest of the world in 2010, the fund not only stayed the course, but went on to raise the bar in terms of fundraising objectives. Such a singular accomplishment belongs equally to the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund and the Armenian nation as a whole. Development projects implemented in 2010 as well as ongoing initiatives are of vital and strategic significance to our people.

The central contribution of the dissertation is the development of the concept of social forgetting as a corollary of social memory. I consider forgetting to include selective remembering, mis/disremembering, and omitting, distorting, or silencing past events and experiences, in order to shape collective memory. In the literature, remembering is usually privileged over forgetting, which is taken as negation, neglect, failure to remember, or unintended social amnesia in which people are considered passive actors. This study, however, shows that forgetting can be a desirable goal and positive process for some social actors, accomplished by obscuring material evidence of what another community wishes remembered.

Psychosocial support to lonely elderly people Photo: Armenian RC Overview During the reporting period, the Armenian Red Cross Society (ARCS) continued the implementation of its programmes and activities in line with its strategic directions. The programmes supported by the Secretariat of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) received very limited funding in general. However, the programmes continued to be implemented mainly with bilateral support from traditional and new partners by Movement partners such as the American, Austrian, Italian and German Red Cross Societies, and external partners like DIPECHO with the co-funding of the Danish and the Icelandic RCs, Austrian Development Agency, the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria, and the Eli Lilly & Co. Foundation. The Armenian Red Cross Society reached several significant achievements in acquiring new partners and / or repositioning itself with the traditional ones. In spite of that, the ARCS is still facing challenges with its local resource mobilization efforts. As one step forward to the development of its resource mobilization, the National Society adopted its Communication Strategy for the years 2012- 2020.
