I am shooting this video for ABILITY Corps

from the COAF SMART Center where we

recently opened COAF 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 we are
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
that stay [for] these

people. Usually technology centers,

educational centers, training centers are

concentrated in bigger cities, bigger

towns, giving 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 the kids in the

villages can also take advantage of these

opportunities. COAF was established

in 2003, we started our activities in

Armenia then, and after working for more

than fourteen years with
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 those types of programs

and activities which are needed and

necessary for addressing their needs in

the rural communities.
