In June, at Orran’s initiative we visited Kristapor Kalashian Art School in Yerevan to meet with
Edgar Gyanjumyan, the school principal, to ask for an opportunity for Orran's beneficiary
Sardarian Lilia to study with a scholarship at Qanun instrumental class. Today, thanks to Edgar
Gyanjumyan's conscientious work, Lilia is studying at Qanun instrumental class for free. Orran
made Lilia’s dream come true and gave her a Qanun.
