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.
