Telethon kicks off in Armenia’s Giumry to raise funds for creative technologies center

YEREVAN, October 7. /ARKA/. A telethon on revitalizing the 1988 earthquake zone started on Armenian Shant TV on Tuesday.

The aim is fundraising for a new creative technologies center, ‘TUMO’, in the city of Giumry.

Today ‘TUMO’ helps many kids and teenagers in Yerevan to obtain good education and get an employment in leading companies.

A similar opportunity should be provided to children living in Giumry, says the report.

This idea is backed by the president Serzh Sargsyan. The head of the Union of Russian Armenians Ara Abrahamyan was among the first to answer the call. Abrahamyan made a contribution himself and urged Armenians all over the world to help kids of Giumry to build their future in their homeland.

Shant TV will broadcast the telethon across the globe from 9 o’clock Tuesday October 7 till midnight.

“Dear friends! The contribution of each of us to this charity project will be very important for the future of Giumry and the homeland as a whole. We are convinced if we had this opportunity twenty years ago, the current generation would have had better social condition and promising future”, says the report. –0--
