Over past three years Ameria Group financed treatment of over 50 children through benevolent auctions and private donations

Over the past three years
Ameria Group financed treatment of over 50 children. Auctions have
repeatedly been held to raise the relevant funds. During today's  press
conference, Tigran Jrbashyan, Development Director of Ameria Group,
presented the results of the 11 Dec 2012 auction. 

He said
that in 2012 alone a total of 22 children were provided with material
support. This year 17 children are expected to receive assistance.
Since the 2012 auction till now about 100 mln AMD has been
raised.  The amount has been spent on
treatment of children, Jrbashyan
said. In particular, last year's auction raised about 35 mln
AMD. Ameria Group doubled that amount. Another 8 mln AMD was donated
by those who wished to help the children.   

"Under
the given project we are cooperating with some foundations.  For
instance, 5 children suffering from idiopathic arthritis received our
assistance worth 13.3 mln AMD through the Children Without Pain Foundation.
Ameria Group also transferred 33.2 mln AMD to Nvirir Kyanq
Foundation for treatment of 6 kids suffering from oncological and
hematological diseases. Some of the kids underwent treatment in Germany",
Jrbashyan said. Via the Help Foundation 6 children with leukemia
received about 10.4 mln AMD from Ameria Group. The Group also
transferred 3.7 mln AMD to the Let's Help Armenian Children Foundation.
There were also cases of individual application to Ameria Group
for helping cure the sick kids, and 18.4 mln AMD was allocated for
that purpose. A total of 27.4 mln AMD was allotted for treatment of
children with neoplasmas and other oncological diseases via various
foundations. Over 2013 Ameria Group transferred nearly 21 mln AMD to
the charitable account in Ameriabank, with 1 mln AMD of this amount
transferred from the employees", said Jrbashyan. 

Jrbashyan
said that each auction differs from the previous auctions by its
new ideas. For instance, the first auction presented the works of
children from orphanages and art schools; the second one presented paintings
by architects, actors and celebrities; the third one (2012) presented
works by artists. The fourth auction will be held on December
6, 2013, and will present alcohol drinks (brandy, wine, champagne).
