    Yerevan . OREANDA-NEWS . August 07, 2008. Childrens Arts School of the
    village of Odzun is completely renovated and refurbished thanks to AMD
    18.4 million donation from VivaCell. The school now has a new local
    heating and hot water supply system, and a completely new rooftop,
    reported the press-centre of VivaCell.

    The renovated Arts School was officially opened jointly by VivaCell
    General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Deputy Marzpet of Lori Arsen
    Darbinyan with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

    VivaCell continues on implementing its large-scale CSR programs having
    long-term positive impact on the rural communities of Armenia. This
    time the Company chose to direct the focus of its CSR on one of the
    oldest and largest villages of Armenia Odzun, famous for the richness
    of its historical-cultural and religious sites, and the prominent
    people born in the village.

    Taking into account the number of Odzun inhabitants, as well as the
    need to encourage the healthy esthetical education among children in
    the villages of Armenia, VivaCell allocated funds for the complete
    renovation of Childrens Arts School of the village of Odzun. In
    addition to new rooftop and local heating system, new windows and doors
    have been installed, and a local heating and water supply system have
    been put in place in the school.

    The Arts School was founded in 1970 and is the only arts school
    serving 8 neighboring villages. The Arts School includes the following
    sections: piano, as well as string, wind, folk instruments, and a
    painting class.

    Since for many years the system of Arts Schools in Armenia has been
    in decline, VivaCell considers it as of prime importance to sponsor
    the revival of the system.

    Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, VivaCell General Manager Ralph
    Yirikian noted: We stand here today, in one of the Armenias ancient
    settlements, proud to be sons and daughters of Armenia. VivaCell
    commitment to support the renovation and refurbishment of the Arts
    School is determined by our obligation to be worthy descendants of
    our predecessors we had to create here in Odzun a modern Arts School
    to encourage the younger generation of Odzun to become worthy of
    its cultural past. And as a socially-responsible corporate citizen,
    VivaCell is allocating part of its revenues to help create bridges
    between the younger generation of Armenia and our national culture.

    VivaCell social investment in Odzun is not limited to the renovation
    of its Childrens Arts Center and its refurbishment. The company also
    presented the administration of the village with a garbage-collecting
    vehicle worth of AMD 9 million.
