VivaCell-MTS Donated AMD 20 mln to Depi Hayk Foundation
OREANDA-NEWS. October 6, 2008. VivaCell-MTS has donated AMD 20 mln to “Depi Hayk” Foundation to realize comprehensive project which includes inviting to Armenia the youth of the Diaspora for communication with their peers in Armenia and engaging them with their Motherland.
Considering the preservation of national identity and culture as the mission of every socially-responsible company, VivaCell-MTS takes tangible steps to integrate the youth of the Armenian people divided into two parts. In this respect, joint work and volunteering for public good help foster effective communication between the Diasporan and local Armenian youth. Young Armenians from all over the world gathered in Norgyugh have got a chance to develop personal relationship with their peers in Armenia, to become connected to their homeland, and to get back in touch with their roots not only through TV programs, internet or books about the native-soil but also as a result of face-to-face communication.
A group of VivaCell-MTS’ employees and the volunteers of “Depi Hayk” foundation from the Diaspora took part in the renovation works of the secondary school in the village of Norgyugh, Kotayk marz. In particular, 7 classrooms were redecorated and the walls recolored.
Nothing unites people like joint work. Especially when they believe their work is aimed at creating public good - reconstruction of schools in rural areas where national traditions are stronger then somewhere else, and all this for the sake of upbringing of children for them to become educated and useful citizens for the motherland. It is not by chance that the school was chosen as a place of joint works by the staff of VivaCell-MTS and the volunteers of “Depi Hayk” Foundation. The point is that VivaCell-MTS, being a corporate citizen, pays huge attention to the school-building as the well-educated younger generation is the greatest asset of our country and the key to its prosperity.
As noted by Ralph Yirikian: “Being a corporate citizen means always thinking for the future. And renovating a school is a real long-term investment in our society, aiming at higher quality of education and raising interest toward education, especially in rural communities. Among Armenians, both in the Diaspora and Armenia, high-quality education has been a very important part of life. We must always keep our traditions awake. After all, national community is characterized by such features as a common homeland and common responsibility for the future.”
160 schoolchildren of the village of Nor Geghi in Kotayk marz couldn’t help waiting for the renovators. Soon they will be learning in clean, renovated and luminous rooms. And 25 teachers are delighted as the children are already more interested in education.
These kinds of projects give opportunity to the youth of the Diaspora to reconnect with their roots helping them to take part in Armenia’s everyday life and invest into the development of their homeland by volunteering, studying and at the same creating long-lasting relations in the country of origin, eventually resulting in heightened consciousness of national identity.
