30-01-2014 17:01:40 | Armenia |
With the support of the Orange Foundation a newly founded center is
now available in orphanage, at the service of
children having visual impairment. The center is equipped with
specialized educational materials and equipment to facilitate their
educational process and further integration into society. Educational
materials contain sets of books for children with visual disabilities,
as well as specialized toys to support the development of the younger
ones.
This project has been implemented in the scope of the special program
launched by the Orange Foundation in 2012, which aims to give a
possibility to Orange Armenia employees to lead philanthropic projects
on their initiatives. The grant for implementation of this particular
project was awarded to Orange Armenia employee Kristine Vardanyan from
Sales Department. This is already the 5th project in a row financed
based on proposals of Orange employees.
Francis Gelibter, the Chairman of the Orange Foundation Board, noted:
"The issues of people with vison disabilities are very important to
the Orange Foundation. The pupils of Mary Izmirlyan orphanage with
visual impairment are even more vulnerable but, luckily, in the world
of developing technologies we now have more opportunities to help
them. . With this initiative we are happy to complement the work
conducted with Armenian Eye Care Project, in the frames of which more
than 50,000 people received free eye care treatment, since 2011. I
particularly want to congratulate Kristine for this great initiative
and encourage all Orange employees to continue proposing ideas for
improving people lives. "
"Marie Izmirlyan" orphanage is responsible for care and education,
training and development, as well as organization of medical care of
children under the age of 18 with functional disorders of the central
nervous system, innate and acquired physical disabilities. Currently
the orphanage is a home to 93 children, out of which 35 have vision
impairment.
