Armine Hovannisian: Kindness is your conscience combined with your capability
Kindness is not related to economic conditions. Just sitting down and talking to a person is also a kind deed, chairwoman of Orran benevolent NGO Armine Hovannisian told a news conference dedicated to Random Acts of Kindness Day.
She noted that currently, creation of jobs is considered as one of the most important acts of charity. The Orran benevolent NGO has 50 employees in Yerevan and Vanadzor, and helps 180 needy children and elderly people.
Mrs Hovannisian stressed that the organization’s focus is on proper upbringing of children, adding that children should learn to be independent and earn their living themselves. Besides educating children, the organization teaches crafts so that children will be able to earn their living when they become mature.
“Kindness is your conscience combined with your capability,” according to Armine Hovannisian.
