ORPHANAGE LEAVERS FACE SERIOUS PROBLEMS

Regions

Six leavers of the “Huys” Orphanage, Gyumri, have been involved in the “Programme of Orphanage Seniors” of the RoA Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.

The director of the orphanage Ruben Markossian says that the programme covers two phases. Some leavers will get flats by July, others - by the turn of the year.

The programme of providing the orphanage leavers with dwelling places was passed long ago but so far only one senior got a flat. The orphanage after Fridtjof Nansen has got six leavers but they still live in the building which, according to the director, arouses problems between children of various ages in view of communication and dwelling space. The director says that the children's fate is also most concerning.

Three of them go to college, the other two have finished a hairdresser's course. 17-year-old Samvel Bernetsian works in the orphanage as an educator.

The orphanage will have seven more leavers next year and they will face more problems, say the director.
