    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.
