Berd Bears animated series unveiled!
After many months of development, BWRCF is proud to announce the unveiling of Berd Bears,
an animated TV series for Armenian children, based on our Berd Bear handicraft produced by our local craftswomen in the town of Berd.
The project is an initiative between our partner Homeland Handicrafts and KASSart Studio. After visiting Berd in early 2011, the Founder of Homeland Handicrafts, Timothy Straight, was so inspired that he contacted KASSart studio with the idea to create a children's television series based on the Berd Bear and the town of Berd. The theme of the series will be to raise environmental awareness for both children and adults.
The series was unveiled at the ReAnimania Film Festival in Yerevan on Friday, September 16th at the Moscow Theater in Yerevan. In addition to a preview of the series, there was a Q&A session with Vrej Kassouny of KASSart Studio and Timothy Straight of Homeland Handicrafts. BWRCF was excited to see such an amazing turnout as it was standing-room only in the theater!
You can watch a teaser of the television series here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-2n63_vw_0

WELCOME to our blog!
The blog of the Berd Women's Resource Center Foundation (BWRCF) is happy to announce that we are now public for all who are interested in women's issues in Բերդ and Armenia.
Our first project is uniting handicraft women, who live in our small town of Berd and do not have access to employment. They have started to work with inspiration and enthusiasm on multiple products, including the Berd Bear, which is now for sale through our partner at Homeland Handicrafts (www.homelandhandicrafts.org).
This is only the start for BWRCF, which has been realized by the help and encouragement of several people (especially by Sir Timothy Straight, John Hart and Zoe Armstrong) for whom I am quite grateful.
Let's continue to see what else we can do FOR THE WOMEN OF BERD!
Anahit Badalian, Founding Director of the BWRC Foundation
