Please, Feel Yourself at Home!

Today I heard about this great program that was offered by OSCE Mission to Georgia to teens from the region of Javakheti. They were brought to Adjara for some time to learn there at school. The goal of the project seems to be bringing community together, creating links, what will help people to understand and respect each other. Isn't it a wonderful mission? If you are not convinced, than I will remind you, that Abkhazian, Georgian and Ossetians still keep devoted exchanging teens as prisoners. Big difference between those two ideas about how to live together. opposite ways will have opposite results.

Ethnic Armenians and ethnic Georgians, both are beautiful. Watching this video gave me hope, that soon we start making more such programs on our own and we will be not for ever dependent on foreign help to bring teens from place A in Georgia to place B in Georgia. When my husband saw tears in my eyes, when children were living Adjara in this video, he asked worried: "Where are they going? Abroad? Forever?" He laughed a lot when I explained that they were still going to Georgia, just their mini bus was heading towards other region of our country. He smiled: "You just need to get often together!" That was true, we all need to get together more often, not as a members of project "exchange prisoners", but as a members of movement "share your respect and love".

I want to ask to Georgian, Abkhazian and Ossetian communities to make people, who live in their regions, feel home. We are sowing all our end if we harm people. Nobody will feel nowhere at home in our region if we teach our children something else then making feeling others with us at home. And there are no others, there are only WE.
