On September 1, 2005, thanks to a group of Vanadzor businessmen,
19 children had the opportunity to go to school properly clothed
and outfitted. Approximately 350 thousand drams were spent to obtain
for these children the necessary clothes, stationery, etc, to enable
them to go to school as their friends do.
The information on children who did not have proper clothes and school
supplies was collected by ACRPC at the rally-meeting held July 1 under
the motto No Child Devoid of Education, which was a part of Global
Campaign White Band Day 1. The rally was implemented in Armenia by
the National Coalition against Poverty in conjunction with the Oxfam
GB charity organization.
The information received was thoroughly studied, the needs of every
child were clarified, price inquiries were carried out, and then
written requests concerning the problem were sent to community leaders
and successful businessmen. The community response was very gratifying.
In conjunction with the Oxfam GB charity organization of the Civil
Society Partnership Network, ACRPC also plans to join the September
10 White Band Day 2 campaign by organizing a series of events in
various marzes of Armenia.
