YERKIR UNGO's (Union of Non Governmental Organizations) village of Haykavan general development plan includes the construction of a new school, as undertaken by the YERKIR USA chapter.
In November 2004, YERKIR USA came to an agreement with the Armenian American Council for the Aging, a Glendale based organization with chapters and offices located throughout Southern California, based upon which, the senior's organization undertook sponsorship of the construction of the new school in the village of Haykavan.

The construction of the new school in Haykavan is set to begin in February 2004 and end in August 2004. The opening ceremony of the school is scheduled to take place during the second half of August 2004.
On behalf of the people of Haykavan, YERKIR USA extends its gratitude to the Armenian American Council for the Aging and all its chapters and members, for their commendable act of patriotism. The Haykavan School will undoubtedly be a great institution that will yield many generations, which will serve our homeland.
