CINF Vice-President Returns to Artsakh
In mid-July, CINF’s Vice-President Siobhan Nash-Marshall made a trip to Stepanakert to review recent work at the Antonia Arslan Armenian-Italian Hamalir and to reconnect with local Artsakhtsi.
Touring the Hamalir Workshop
Her 2022 Summer visit afforded Nash-Marshall the opportunity to meet the Hamalir’s students and teachers, including those from the school’s budding vocational program. While touring the CINF vocational workshop, Nash-Marshall also could see first-hand the products of the program’s first active programs in tailoring and woodworking.

In July, Trey Blanton joined the CINF team. He has been a friend of the Foundation since 2020. In 2022, he volunteered to travel to Artsakh to act as a Liaison between CINF-USA and CINF-Artsakh as well as lead Physical Education courses, including a boxing program, for the local boys.

Since reconnecting in April, CINF President Antonia Arslan and Vice-President Nash-Marshall have had a busy summer of lectures, presentations, meetings, and more. These inumerous encounters aim to bring news of Artsakh and the work accomplished at the Hamalir to the general public.
Among these, some exciting opportunities included Arslan’s keynote presentation on the situation in Artsakh for the Annual Meeting of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere, ed Arti in June (pictured bottom right) and a TV interview for Pordenonelegge (pictured top left).
