On December 2nd, 2017, Sona Rubenyan, Ashough Nazeli and Sevak Amroyan transported us to Armenia with their beautiful voices and songs during the Sound of our Roots fundraising event.
Thank you to all those who joined us to raise funds for Hayastan Foundation's "Project Khantsk" (a multi-purpose centre built in the village of Khantsk, in the region of Askeran, Artsakh). Thank you to all our sponsors and our donors! Without your help and support, our event and project Khantsk would not have been possible.
Construction of Community Center in Khantsk village
Khantsk village is situated 19km away from Askeran region to South-West, 22km away from Stepanakert.
The name of village means khan’s seat. The village is one of the oldest regions in Artsakh with records of population from ancient times.
The church built in 1230 is still maintained here. Before the Artsakh war, there were 67 families and 248 residents in Khantsk village. Now the population of Khantskh is 220.
In 1873 there was a parochial school designed for 27 students.

Lacking Infrastructures
The city hall of Khantsk was located in the kindergarten building.
