LIVING WITH DUST
Today dust has become a problem not only in cities but also in villages where there has always been fresh air and people lived in peace with nature. Dust which is produced by cement factory fills up our yards and homes. Ararat is covered by dust. SunChild Eco Club members of Urtsadzor tried to fix the problem, by taking interviews and struggling for their right to breathe fresh air, but it is not so easy for children of their age to get understanding and support from the government they are pushed away from everywhere and even the simple questions are getting no answers. How long is this going to continue?
