(Noyan Tapan - 14.03.2011) This project marks the start of 2011
charitable programm by Orange and Shen directed to community
development
Orange and "Shen" Charitable NGO continue implementing charitable
projects, directed to development of rural communities in Armenia. By
implementing such projects in the frames of this strategic partnership,
Orange and Shen have in the center of their activity children, their
education, health, pre-school and sport education.
The opening of Vahan village marks the start of 2011 charitable
programm by Orange and Shen directed to community development, which
is mainly directed, as in 2010, to remote, border and vulnerable
communities of Armenia. The Vahan village has 1228 inhabitants. The
kindergarten was initially planned to host 20 children, but as a result
of numerous requests the project was extended and the kindergarten is
ready now to welcome 40 pupils. The restauration of the kindergarten
is done by the means of USAID, CHF and Shen, and Orange has provided
its furnishing, by providing 5,945,000 AMD. The community also has
actively participated in the project.
Bruno Duthoit, Orange CEO said: "As a company which plays an important
role in the economy of the country, we want to have our investment not
only in telecommunication domain, but in other domains as well. Many
projects implemented during last year gave very good results. The
proofs are kindergartens and gyms that today welcome a lot of pupils.
If we just consider the case of one of computer centers - in Aragats
village for example, we'll see that only in 5 months there were 2000
visits in this small village."
Hayk Minsayan, Chairman of the Board of "Shen" said: "The fact that
young families stay and live in border villages is more than important
and to know that the demand was higher than expected made us really
enthusiastic. For us, involvement of the communities is the earnest of
viability of the projects we implement. Our visions with Orange meet:
Armenia is not only Yerevan, it encompasses also regions and villages.
This is why we are happy about this partnership, which has already
proved its efficiency and aims to realize new and new projects in
future as well".
