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.
