We are very grateful to Norayr Gyuzalyan & Anna Mazmanyan, our long-time supporters, who made a generous gift in the run up to the school’s 10th anniversary. Their donation, along with other gifts, will be allocated towards a collective 10th Anniversary Scholarship for a deserving Armenian student.
Dan Silfwerin, our Philosophy Teacher, has had no opportunity to meet Ruben Vardanyan, the UWCD co-founder, since he moved to Armenia in 2023. However, having followed Ruben’s fate, he was inspired to write a poem about him. Dan said, “I am making a parallel between Ruben and his namesake in the Bible, Jacob’s oldest son Ruben. When Ruben came to save Joseph from the well, he noticed that he was gone and screamed and tore his clothes. That sorrow is what I have drawn a parallel to.”
Alumni donors who contributed as part of the Ten for Ten campaign.
We are deeply grateful to Movses Pogossian, Professor at UCLA (violin), a regular guest at UWC Dilijan, for not only generously sharing his musical talents with our community but also providing financial support for the school. We eagerly anticipate his next visit!
