The bank specified that the performance was giver for children of school age.

Hundreds of children, including beneficiaries of centers for children with special needs, attended the event.

“Converse Bank traditionally celebrates the International Day for Protection of Children by giving a small holiday to children of different marzes on June 1. This time we gave them an opportunity to listen to classical music. The performance of Tumanyan’s “Anush” in Vanadzor was not accidental. Who would better understand the great Armenian writer, if not the children born and raised in his homeland in Lori, and so familiar with the nuances of Tumanyan’s language?” said Aregnaz Hakobyan, Head of Converse Bank’s Marketing Unit.

Previously, Converse Bank delivered glucometer test strips and gifts to children undergoing diabetes treatment in Muratsan Hospital and resting in Arzni-1 Health Resort as part of June 1 events. In addition, the bank employees donated blood to children at the Hematology Center and replenished the deposit accounts opened in the name of 10 children of Vanadzor orphanage. The children will have the right to manage and control the money after they become adults.
