YEREVAN, September 15. /ARKA/. The Stepan Gishyan charity foundation is providing assistance to children in Yeghegnadzor who need therapeutic procedures, the press service of Acba bank said.
The 13 year-old Martik is a real fighter, strong, tenacious and smart. For a year now, he has been undergoing a course of physiotherapy at the Voskeporik Development Center, preparing for a surgery. He decided that he must start walking – this is his final word.
In Yeghegnadzor, children in need of care undergo various therapy courses. Now the Center has 134 beneficiaries from 20 villages of Vayots Dzor region.
The Voskeporik Development Center was awarded a grant by the Stepan Gishyan charity foundation. With the support of the foundation, the Center is equipped with various locally produced items for therapeutic work: sensory lights, stands, tables for sand therapy, and educational games.
“The main goal of our Center is to improve the mental and physical abilities of children who need special conditions for learning. It is also a good opportunity for parents so that their children receive all the therapeutic services without leaving the region,” said Anna Gishyan, director of the Stepan Gishyan charity foundation.
“Until now, such services have not been provided in Yeghegnadzor, but now we can provide large-scale assistance on behalf of the foundation. The Center serves special children who have problems with the musculoskeletal system and mental problems,” said Eka Horstka, founder of the Voskeporik Development Center.
The Stepan Gishyan charity foundation was established by Acba bank, the French Credit Agricole Bank, the National Federation of Credit Agricole and the Gishyan family. The foundation’s programs are aimed at strengthening the Armenian-French relations, improving the socio-economic, scientific, educational, cultural and healthcare systems of Armenia.
