Oriental Rug Importers Association, Inc. (279 words)
The ORIA and its members have been financially committed to improving the lives of children in rug weaving counties for over a decade.
Although the ORIA has been successful in soliciting donations from its members for several specific relief efforts in recent years, we needed a more unified approach to helping rug weaving areas and others in need on an on-going basis.
Incorporation of the ORIA Charitable Fund as a non-profit organization allows us to solicit funds and channel them to various humanitarian projects, including schools and clinics in India, Pakistan and Nepal and the fund’s tax-exempt status provides additional incentives for retailers and wholesalers to support our efforts.
Orias (126 words)
In demonology Orias is a Great Marquis of Hell, and has thirty legions of demons under his command.
According to other demonologists, Orias knows and teaches all forms of divination, and is the protector of astrologists and diviners.
He is depicted as a lion with the tail of a serpent or a man with the face of a lion, holding two hissing serpents in his right hand, and riding a horse.
