“ When I was traveling abroad , the founder-students organized the third KolkhozQuest without me . The students were in Jane for days planning and organizing . I realized that they do not need a teacher anymore – they lead the team and the center themselves . And it is not just one student , but about 10 active young people who have taken on the responsibility and leadership necessary to run a social enterprise . The same self-management continues to take place now during the blockade . Jane became a hub for students ’ education and entertainment when schools were closed because of the lack of heating , and continues to serve the needs of students in Kolkhozashen ."
Ashot Gabrielyan Seventh Generation Teacher-Leader Kolkhozashen village , Artsakh region
" With the guidance of Mr . Gabrielyan , we have learned how to effectively implement community projects and excel in teamwork . KolkhozQuest is entirely organized by us , the students , with our Teacher-Leader serving as a mentor and motivator . He has taught us to have faith in our abilities , propelling us and our entire community forward despite the challenges we are facing ."
