Dear Tamila,

Thank you very much for your email, which I am glad to read. I have been discussing with Kalbatoni Sopo for the last two weeks this initiative, and UNICEF is fully ready and committed to this very important child helpline in response to
challenges stemming from Covid-19 crisis.

I am copying my colleagues to have our internal discussion and identification of funds and I will get back to you accordingly, by Friday this week the latest, so we can more ahead with the child helpline as soon as possible.

Warm regards,

Ghassan

Subject: child hotline

Dear Ghassan,

I hope this e-mail finds you well and in good health.  I would like to thank you for your willingness to support establishment of Child Hotline in response to growing need of children in the time of COVID-19 response.    Below are the calculations
we have made in GEL.

I would also like to underline that technically we plan to link the new Child hotline to the server and ATS of LEPL –Agency for State Care and Assistance for the Victims of Human Trafficking.  Hence the operators will be based in Agency
premises, so the grant agreement needs to be tripartite, including UNICEF, Parliament and State Care Agency.

Please see the calculation below and should you have any questions feel free to initiate a conference call involving Parliament, Ministry of Health, and State Care Agency.
