In July of this year Zohrab Bosnoyan, the noble community member, a devoted and active member of Hamazkayin, a permanent donor to his former school, and an alumnus of the N. Palanjian Djemaran of Hamazkayin of the class of 1950, departed this world. To honor the memory of their father and their grandfather, Mr. and Mrs. Sdepan and Tamar Der Bedrossian and their children founded a Scholarship Fund within the Central Fund of Hamazkayin with the initial sum of $100,000 USD (one hundred thousand American dollars.) The Fund will be called the “Zohrab Bosnoyan Scholarship of Hamazkayin Educational and Cultural Association.” The purpose of the Fund is to use its profits for the benefit of needy students at the M. and H. Arslanian Djemaran of Hamazkayin, as well as assist those graduates who need financial aid to complete the first year of their higher education in one of Lebanon’s leading universities. The Fund will function according to special bylaws developed with the abovementioned purpose. Its investment will be carried out by the Central Board of the Fund of Hamazkayin, in consultation with a member of the family. The Central Committee of Hamazkayin and the Central Board of the Fund of Hamazkayin express their deep appreciation to the family’s generous donation. In these days of global economic crisis, this newly founded Fund will encourage us all in our daily pursuit of Hamazkayin’s objectives. CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF HAMAZKAYIN November 29, 2008, Beirut
