    Taipei, Oct. 14 (CNA) Aid from Taiwan is helping to change the lives
    of children living in the poorest region of the Central Asian country
    Armenia.

    World Vision Taiwan set up a project known as an Area Development
    Program (ADP) in the town of Aparan earlier this year, with the goal
    of improving the standard of living of poor children in the area. The
    town lies in Aragatsotn, an impoverished province in western Armenia.

    ~SThe province lacks basic water and sewage amenities, with broken and
    muddy roads, " said Shi-jing Chen, a priest who had been to Aragatsotn
    to see the problems faced by local children.

    "The children there face difficult lives~Ethey are in need of foreign
    aid," he said.

    After visiting new classrooms and kindergartens sponsored by the World
    Vision Taiwan, he could see the importance of such donations, he said.

    Shu-zhen Yen, director of World Vision Taiwan's Central Area office,
    said that while Taiwan was once itself a receiver of international aid
    from World Vision, today it is helping to change the lives of those
    in poor countries such as Armenia, where just a small donation can
    make a big difference for those children in need, even making their
    dreams come true.
