VivaCell -MTS supports “Dear Teacher”

Teach For Armenia and its supporters held their “Dear Teacher” event hosted by the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies.

The event, part of an ongoing “Teacher Appreciation” campaign that seeks to bolster the stature of the teaching profession, showcased the favorite teachers of a diverse field of students and former students.

It should be noted that the students were joined in their words and gestures of appreciation by media personality Gohar Gasparyan, chess Grandmaster Levon Aronian, VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian, jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan, and others whose professional and personal development was unforgettably linked to the remarkable role models they had in their teachers.

“We share the sense of responsibility attached to the teaching profession. It is a responsibility based on knowledge and vocational skills, as well as the values and norms that teachers transmit to their students,” said Larisa Ryan, Teach For Armenia founder and CEO.

“Over the years, you come to realize how inestimable our teachers’ influence was on our life and the path we choose to pursue, on our success, our perception of life and development, ability to appreciate the beauty of serving our community, our ability to sacrifice and withstand the difficulties, on both our moral and rational decisions. I greatly admire my teachers. A teachers advice has a lifelong influence on us, and I encourage our youth to take advantage of every interaction they have with their teacher,” – says VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.

It should be noted that VivaCell-MTS is one of the sponsors of “Dear Teacher” event.
