Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On December 30, 2019, the embassy of China in Turkmenistan, the UNICEF representative office in Turkmenistan, and the welfare organization "Yenme" jointly organized a disability assistance event. Ambassador Sun Weidong donated 40 hearing aids to hearing-impaired children on behalf of the embassy. More than 70 people attended, including the UNICEF Representative in Turkmenistan, the head of welfare organization "Yenme" (translated as "Overcoming" or "Beyond"), hearing-impaired children and their parents, and local media reporters. The embassy conducted a video call with experts from Chinese hearing aid manufacturers to guide the hearing-impaired children and their parents on the fitting and use of the hearing aids. The donation was part of a series of charity activities for the disabled conducted by the Chinese Embassy in honor of the upcoming new year, 2020.
