Then I moved to Artsakh to work with teachers in about 17 schools in Askeran, Martuni and Martakert regions, helping children with social and emotional stabilization, helping children develop new skills that would enable children to make a difference in their communities, turning their ideas into reality.
"Then , I realized that I would like to continue my work with the children, this time in Vank, which would give me an opportunity to live near Gandzasar, work as a pedagogue, and continue living in Artsakh," said S. Gevorgyan.
