Consolidating the women of the accredited ambassadors and diplomats of
Armenia five years ago, Mrs. Nani Oskanian founded the Diplomat’s Women
Association, which carries out various charitable programs in Armenia.

"Azg" daily had a conversation with the Director of the Association
Nani Oskanian, who informed that on September 23, from 12 p.m. to 7
p.m. in "Marriot-Armenia" hotel took place the event titled "Market
and casting of lots".

The accredited embassies in Armenia, Consuls of Honor, and
businesspersons participated in the fair, where the businesspersons
presented their products, souvenirs and dishes of their countries.

Diplomat’s Women Association has 43 members today, who participate
in charitable programs with pleasure.

"This year’s "Market and casting of lots" was wider, as the women
ambassadors of Brazil and Kazakhstan also join us, which is a valuable
step, and I want to thank all the ambassadors that contribute to our
country’s progress together with us. I want to thank the sponsor of the
1st "Market and casting of lots" the first lady of Armenia Mrs. Bella
Kocharian, the Chairman of "Grant Holding" Hrant Vardanian and his
wife Zina Vardanian, the authorities of "Vivacell" and the general
sponsor of this 5th "Market and casting of lots" Chief of "ACVATEK"
Khachatur Khachatrian", mentioned Nani Oskanian.

In the framework of charitable programs, the Association provided
No.1 kindergarten of the village Karakert (province of Armavir) with
furniture, bed linen and kitchen accessories two years ago. Last Friday
the new members of the Association Council visited the kindergarten,
where kindergarten’s children thanked the benefactors by their dancing
and songs.

The next village was Lernagog that the Association Council members
visited. The school was also reconstructed with the help of the
"Children’s foundation" and the benefactors.

"I am very much impressed with the works done and will participate in
the programs with pleasure, as I saw important things done with the
help of the donated money", said the Ambassador of Brazil to Armenia
Mrs. Renata Siley.
