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.
