ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK surprised orphanage after Mari Izmirlian within VISA “Barebar” charity card project

YEREVAN, May 31./ARKA/. ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK reported Friday, on the occasion of International Children’s Day, the children of Yerevan’s orphanage after Mari Izmirlian had been  pleasantly surprised within the framework of Visa “Barerar” (Benefactor) charity card.

Since 22 November 2012, ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK in partnership with Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has been issuing Visa “Barebar” card, the first charity card in Armenia.
