Nearly 80 invalid children from most vulnerable families are now in
"Learning to live together" summer camp organized in Kapan, the center
of Syunik region.

The camp lasts only 10 days and is organized in frames of OSCE
programs department of Syunik. The main goal of the summer camp is
encouragement of child’s self-confidence, independence. Besides, the
camp tends to create equal opportunities for all vulnerable groups
and ensure their integrity.

"This camp is a kind of continuation to the last year’s cooperation
with UNESCO," the OSCE program system manager Gagik Chilingaryan
says. "Now we have a serious business sponsor -"Dino Gold Mining"
company. This will certainly promote the creation of bounds between
business community and local residents. Such kinds of relations
can serve as strong grounds for economic and social development,"
Chilingaryan added.

Note that Kapan summer camp has interactive study program which has
already helped 8-13 year-old children develop capacity building
abilities: now they can find, analyze and solve differenet kinds
of problems. Moreover, at the end of the program the children will
update small charts for their own communities; the best projects will
be carried out with financial support of "Dino Gold".
