Chisinau, September 20, 2011. On September 19, 2011, the CSR Committee within American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova (AmCham Moldova) has launched the first course of English language for visually impaired youth at the initiative of Moldcell Company.

A course which consists of 100 hours of English is offered to ten young visually impaired people, who are interested in learning English. During the course, besides learning English, youth have the possibility to socialize, to exchange their ideas thus improving their self-confidence.

Thus, step by step, together with the AmCham Moldova members we offer our support for those people who are in need, to easier integrate into the society,” stated Constanta Popa , Chair of the AmCham CSR Committee. 

In order to implement this project, AmCham Moldova donated the money collected from the traditional AmCham Charity Lottery organized this year on the occasion of the USA Independence Day celebration on 4^th of July.
