Today, "Ashtarak-Kat" Company, the biggest producer of whole milk
products in Armenia, arranged a real holiday for the children of
"Orran" charitable public organization on the International Children’s
Day.
Within the frames of the Social Corporate Responsibility (CSR),
"Ashtarak-Kat" presented sweets of own making and other gifts to
the children of "Orran". As PR manager of "Ashtarak- Kat" Tatevik
Gabazyan told ArmInfo, the Company extends its cooperation with
different charitable organizations assisting the needy children. "If
earlier, our company gave assistance directly to the children with
no participation of charitable organizations, now, due to the third
party being well up in the children’s problems, our assistance will be
more efficient and will facilitate the children’s life", T.Gabazyan
said. Moreover, she said, within the frames of SCR, "Ashtarak-Kat"
intends to activate its charitable activity in 2009. "In view of the
global economic crisis, assistance to the needy Armenian children by
different organizations and countries has reduced, so, our company
decided to fill this gap and pay more deference to those in need",
T. Gabazyan emphasized.
Head of "Orran", the wife of the first Foreign Minister of Armenia
Raffi Hovannisian, Armine Hovannisian, said 96 children from age 6 are
under care of "Orran" charitable organization where 30 volunteers work
besides the general staff. All the children attending the organization
are schoolchildren, though, on completing the school, they are rendered
further assistance for continuation of studies. The children dine
in the Center, do the homework, take part in the sport and cultural
coteries of the organization. "Much emphasis is laid on organization
of cultural events, visiting theatres and museums", A. Hovannisian
said. She added that the organization’s specialists do their best for
the children to show interest to the charitable activity. At present,
the organization renders assistance to the children living in Yerevan,
however, shortly it is scheduled to open a branch in Vanadzor as well.
On June 2, "Ashtarak-Kat" will hold the next action in the Yerevan
Victory park dedicated to the International Children’s Day. Within the
frames of the action, the famous singers and actors will sell ice-cream
and other sweets of "Ashtarak-Kat" in the Park, and the funds from
sale will be transferred to the Armenian Children Assistance Fund,
jointly with which the action is held.
