Youth Development Center for Disabled Children opens in Ashgabat

The Youth Center for Professional Development for Children with Disabilities began its work in the Turkmen capital. The initiator of its creation was the public organization "Yenme" ("Overcoming"), together with the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Turkmenistan.

Here, under the guidance of experienced teachers, children will be able to acquire the necessary professional skills – to study computer literacy, the basics of programming and web design, cutting and sewing skills. For this, the center is equipped with computer equipment and modern sewing equipment.

"This will be the first step towards the choice of a future profession," said director of "Jenme" Gulya Choreklieva.

– We want to do something useful for people with disabilities. Thanks to Yenme, they are already leading an active lifestyle, which helps them socially adapt, said Zhao Li, counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Turkmenistan.

The joy of the children was shared by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China Sun Weidong:

– I am sure that in this training center you will be able to master certain skills for further employment. And I will definitely come to see your achievements, – he said to the guys.

The parents also hope that the center will help children find themselves and achieve success in life.
