At first children, teachers and parents used to call on this number to report about some difficult situation in a child's life and in accordance our work group responded to them, but the last 1-2 years we get calls connected with the internet and mobile phone actions, "said M. Antonyan. As she stated, nowadays phone calls, undesirable invitations or sent letters coming through mobile phones or internet, which have inappropriate content are not yet widely spread, but they may have unpleasant results too in the future.
According to A.

Let us notice that these programs will be possible to implement by the support of "Microsoft "and" World Vision "companies.
