US Ambassador to Armenia Visited to an Orphanage in Lori
US Embassy
On June 21, US Ambassador to Armenia Richard Mills, traveled to the Lori Marz to visit organizations and individuals working in the area of human rights, Facebook page of the Embassy reports.
In Vanadzor, he toured an orphanage, talked with representatives of Armenia’s Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MLSA) and UNICEF, and met with orphanage staff and the young residents.
They discussed prospects for transformation of the institution of orphanages in Armenia, and the challenges in reuniting children with their extended families.
"Children have the right to proper care and support and love. Institutional care is not necessarily the best environment to provide such care. Plus it is costly for the state and breeds corruption, especially when financing of residential institutions is based on the number of children and is not linked to the quality of childcare," Ambassador Mills said.
