    VIVACELL-MTS, COAF PARTNER TO BRING CONTEMPORARY EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ARTENI CHILDREN

    18:55 23/01/2014 " EDUCATION

    VivaCell MTS and the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) helped realize a
    long-expected dream of Arteni's schoolchildren. The Arteni School's
    elementary wing officially reopened after a significant capital
    renovation. VivaCell-MTS provided AMD 7 mln for the establishment
    of a technology classroom, Creativity Lab, which will be used by all
    students. COAF renovated the rest of the classrooms and installed a
    tooth brushing station, Brushadrom, the press service of COAF said.

    The Creativity Lab features a smart board, modern computers, as well
    as mobile furniture adaptable for working individually, in small or
    large groups. The Lab provides a multifunctional environment fit for
    classes, training sessions, lectures, reading, discussions, projects
    and games, performances and fun.

    This is the second Creativity Lab established as part of
    COAF-VivaCell-MTS partnership, the first one being launched in
    September 2013 in Sardarapat community located in Armavir region.

    "By providing the village school with innovative tools encouraging
    creativity we want to help them reveal and develop skills and
    knowledge. We have to grow up knowledgeable generation, and in this
    regard it's very important to ensure that there is no gap between
    village and town schools," VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian
    stated.

    In the words of Anoush Yedigaryan, COAF Executive Director, "the
    concept of Creativity Labs was first introduced in Armenia by COAF
    and has been widely acclaimed as a cutting-edge means of providing
    an optimal learning and creative environment. Given the need in
    Arteni, we decided to build on this cooperation with our partner
    VivaCell-MTS and capitally renovate the Elementary School wing. This
    was made possible through the generous donation of long-standing
    COAF benefactors Mr. & Mrs. Noubar and Anna Afeyan. The newly opened
    Creativity Lab and Elementary School wing will provide contemporary
    educational opportunities to the younger generation."

    The Arteni School is COAF's seventh rural school and eighteenth
    building to have undergone capital renovation since 2004. Starting
    today, close to 100 elementary schoolchildren and 15 primary school
    teachers will enjoy safe and nurturing classroom conditions and
    benefit from a learning environment equipped with bright classrooms,
    indoor lavatories and running water, a central heating system and
    a Brushadrom.
