Hi, we are shooting

this video for Ability Corps from

the COAF Smart Center, where

we recently opened COAF Smart Center,

which was opened on May 27th,

just a month ago, and this is COAF's

most recent initiative for

the development of rural areas.

Since it is COAF's approach and we all

believe in it that becoming or coming

closer to the villages and working

within the villages is how we can

support and how we can deliver

the technology, the information, and

the new solutions, let's say,

to these people.

Usually, technology centers,

educational centers, training centers

are concentrated in bigger cities,

bigger towns, giving, let's say,

opportunities and chances for

the children there, but this is

unprecedented from that perspective

that we have come as close to the villages

as possible to make sure that the

kids in the villages can also

take advantage of this opportunities.

COAF was established in 2003, started its

activities in Armenia then,

and after working for more over 14 years

with the different types of schools and

kindergartens and communities in

all the areas of Armenia, we have decided

to create a center of our own,

which is the Smart Center, to make sure

that we can implement all these types of

programs and activities which are needed

and necessary, let's say, for addressing

the needs in the rural communities.
