The Orran center in Vanadzor was founded on leased premises in
September of 2009 with the financial support of the Open Society

receiving a daily hot meal, tutorial, medical, psychological and
social services.
The children are also learning skills in pottery and woodcraft. Once
the construction of the new building is completed, more children will
be embraced in the program.
