The project of reconstruction of Gyumri N6 music school is implemented by Mediamax, Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR) and Australian Do Something organization.

 

 

In January 2011, the owner of music store Millbank Music in Canada Tim Irving contacted Ian Gillan's manager Phil Banfield and said that he would like to provide music instruments to the Gyumri school. Tim noted that he has been the fan of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath since childhood and it will be honor for him to take part in WhoCares project implemented by Ian Gillan and Toni Iommi.

 

The shipment of musical instruments is carried out by Fund for Armenian Relief which also covers all the expenses.
