ATTEMPTS TO INTEGRATE INTO SOCIETY

Disabled Children Exhibit Their Works at Yerevan State University

In connection with the Children’s Day a number of arrangements were
organized in Yerevan on June 1. The History Department at the Yerevan
State University organized an arrangement with the assistance of YSU
Students’ Central Scientific Company. The arrangement was dedicated
to the works of disabled children.

The exhibition represented over 50 pieces of 21 disabled children from
Yerevan and other regions of Armenia. The pieces were mainly very
interesting watercolors and drawings, as well as gobelins, ceramic
and wooden pieces. These disabled children have many problems but
they are still string enough to create beauty.

Hamo Sukiasian, Secretary of Scientific Board at the History
Department, said that their aim was to represent these talented
children to the students and to contribute to their integration to
the society. “We want to show that the students didn’t forget about
them and they are ready to render them both material and moral aid,”
Mr. Sukiasian said.

“Bridge of Hope,” “Delivery” NGOs, as well as the special school for
disabled children assisted in the organization of the exhibition.
