The Tserunyan Family and Future Peacemaker Koryun

Heifer Armenia came to Chinari village in 2008, distributing pregnant heifers and training to 25 families. The village is about a half mile from the Azerbaijan border. During the war over the Nagorno-Karabagh region from 1991-1994, the village was bombed many times. Now, 20 years after the ceasefire, shootings from the Azeri side have become commonplace for the people of this village to deal with while they are trying to improve their livelihoods.
