PIRELLI RUSSIA LAUNCHES THE “CHANCE PROGRAM
On April 15th, Pirelli’s Kirov plant (Russia), launched the “Chance” educational program, initiative dedicated to orphans and children without parental care in the Spitsynsky orphanage (Kotelnichesky district).
During the visit to the plant, the orphans got to see the tyre manufacturing process and learn about the plant’s history since its construction in 1943.
“We are happy that Chance is now available in the Kirov region and that Pirelli cares about helping orphans,” said Yulia Ivanycheva, head of the Arifmetika Dobra charity fund’s Chance program. “Such visits are very important to orphans since their choice of vocation is often determined by where they think it is easier to enter.”
Some children among those who visited the KTP have already started taking lessons under the Chance program. “These online lessons are a wonderful opportunity for me. I am learning Russian and English as well as algebra and physics. I really enjoy the lessons with tutors; they are positive and pleasant. I like science, and I want to be an accountant or even a programmer. I am sure that I will have more chances to enter university thanks to this program,” Natasha, a tenth-grader and one of the orphanage pupils, says about the program.
The purpose of the Chance program is to provide education for orphans through individual online lessons given by professional teachers. Under the program, as of April 2016, more than 3,000 lessons have already taken place.
