Foreword by chairman of board The association chose the name Toleranti (Tolerant, trans.), as the word tolerant means forbearance, acceptance, yet without arrogance and selfishness. Treat others as you would like to be treated is the basis of our activity. It underlines the necessity of being tolerant to others culture, religion and nationality. All our activities serve to ensure the mentioned process. To avail someone of an opportunity to feel oneself a person, respect his/her values, belief and rights is the basis for Toleranti to function. Muslims, etc. We operate in the region, where the majority of the population is represented by Georgians, but from ancient times Samtskhe Javakheti is the symbol of coexistence of people of different nationalities and religious belonging: Jews, Armenians, Russians, Greeks; Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Considering the above, the main trend of the organisation in Samtskhe Javakheti is the promotion of democratic processes, protection of human rights, facilitation of ethnic and religious minorities living in the region, support for civil integration, as well as protection of social interests of children and vulnerable groups. For this purpose, the Samtskhe Javakheti regional association 3

4 Toleranti has implemented a number of successful projects. Lately, the repatriation process of those deported from Georgia in 1944 has created a new reality in the country. Activities of the association have always been adequate to the processes underway in the country, as well as the region. With the financial assistance of donor organisations Toleranti could perform many beneficial activities. Within various projects, the association cooperated with the Foundation Open Society - Georgia, Mercy Corps. The majority of projects implemented by the Samtskhe Javakheti regional association Toleranti was financed by the European Union: Information-Consultation Centre for the Meskh Repatriates (ongoing). Protection of Meskh repatriates rights support for integration process in Georgia ( ); Social Integration Centre for the Meskh Repatriates ( ) 4 From repatriation to integration ( ); The project Protection of Meskh repatriates rights support for integration process in Georgia was implemented by Toleranti with the financial assistance of the European Union. The project addressed the needs of the people residing in Georgia. The present report outlines all the activities implemented within this project and summarises its results. The work of Toleranti could have never been productive without support and assistance of its partner organisations. We actively cooperated with the Georgian Board of Trusties GBT; Union of Democrat Women of Samtskhe Javakheti ; Channel 2 Union of Intellectuals studio under the Georgian Public Broadcaster. Background The Samtskhe Javakheti regional organisation Toleranti was founded on April 15, The organisation was registered on December 30, The first days of the establishment of our organisation were quite difficult.

The first serious steps made by Toleranti were charity actions. With the donors financial assistance and the goodwill of our staff, a strong united team was formed, which implemented a number of successful projects till February 2004, in particular the Georgian language courses were launched for the region s non-georgian schoolchildren and youth; several interesting training-seminars were held for women living in the region. Step-by-step the organisation secured its place in the district, as well as the region s life. The results achieved spoke for themselves and international organisations showed more interest and trust toward Toleranti. The first major success was the victory gained in the tender announced by the Mercy Corps. We could improve our logistics only within the project Social Integration Centre for traumatised children, financed by the Mercy Corps. The first success was followed by the other. The Toleranti members set more ambitious goals and realised almost all their plans. The Samtskhe-Javakheti regional association Toleranti is known for its successful work and activities not only in the region, but throughout Georgia, as well. Many kind words were said in its address in the national press ( Rezonansi, Samkhretis Karibche, 24 Saati ), several coverages were broadcasted on central TV channels (GBP both channels (Channel 1 and Channel 2), Imedi, Rustavi-2, Patriarchate TV Channel), local population systematically apply to the members of the organisation for advice on different issues. The association has built successful and constructive relations with the non-governmental, as well as international organisations operating in the region and Georgia, in general. Since 2002 a so called Board of Supporters has been functioning under the association, which, if necessary, supports the organisation with financial means and logistics. The Board includes parents of the pupils of the Toleranti training centre, as well as representatives of local businesses and volunteers. For the past five years, the organisation has implemented a number of interesting projects, in particular: Georgian language courses were launched for non-georgian school-leavers, with the financial support of the Meskheti branch of the Tbilisi State University; Training seminars on: Active women in selfgovernment, were conducted in the self-government structures (Sakrebulos) of Akhaltsikhe, with the financial support of the Akhaltsikhe Sakrebulo; 2004 Project Social Integration Centre for traumatised children was implemented, financed by the Mercy Corps. The 5

6 centre was opened for orphans; refugee children from Abkhazia and Samachablo; children from big and poor families, as well as Meskh repatriate children living in Akhaltsikhe. The Toleranti integration centre undertook mainly educational and training activities within the project. April 2005-February 2006 the association Toleranti implemented the project Social Integration Centre for Meskh Repatriates, financed by the European Commission. The success of the project was largely based on the experience gained from previous projects. Within the frame of the project, a social integration centre was opened at the base of the organisation Toleranti in Akhaltsikhe and Samtredia region, namely in the village Ianeti. Both centres were equipped with necessary and adequate technique and educational literature. Opening of the centres prepared good ground for starting integration process of the returned Meskh repatriates. February 1, 2006-January 1, 2007 the organisation Toleranti implemented one more project financed by the European Commission From Repatriation to Integration the association Toleranti implemented a project Road to Integration, financed by the foundation Open Society - Georgia. Many significant actions were undertaken within the project serving to support the integration of the Meskh repatriates living in Georgia. The project proved quite successful and gained significant support in the Samtskhe- Javakheti region, as well as among the population of Imereti. The project activities included provision of legal advice to the Meskh repatriates living in the village Ianeti of Samtredia region and Akhaltsikhe; teaching them the Georgian language; acquainting them with the history and historical monuments of their homeland; monthly edition of the newspaper Pesvebi, etc. Historical publications, legal memorial booklets were issued, which may prove interesting and necessary for the repatriates Toleranti implemented the project Protection of Meskh repatriates rights support for integration in Georgia. Description of the activities implemented within the frame of this project is given in the present report. The association Toleranti has its own office in Akhaltsikhe, which is equipped with modern computer technique, audio and video facilities, adequate furniture and library. The association has qualified and experienced personnel, who have participated in the projects implemented by the organisation. Toleranti does not stop at the progress achieved and plans to continue working actively on priority and topical issues for the society. For this purpose, it has planned several important projects in the long-term perspective weli- ganxorcielda proeqti `mersi qoris dafinansebit `travmirebul bavsvta sazogadoebrivi integraciis centri. centri gaixsna axalcixis raionsi mcxovrebi oboli, afxazetidan da samacablodan devnili, mravalsviliani da xelmokle ojaxebis bavsvebisatvis, axalcixesi mcxovrebi repatrianti mesxebis bavsvebisatvis. proeqtis farglebsi `tolerantis~ integraciis centrsi mimdinareobda ZiriTadad saswavlo saganmanatleblo saqmianoba wlis april- TebervalSi asociacia `tolerantma~ ganaxorciela evrokomisiis mier dafinansebuli proeqti saxelwodebit _ `mesx repatriantta sazogadoebrivi integraciis centri. proeqtis warmatebas safuzveli Cauyara wina proeqtebsi arsebulma gamocdilebam. proeqtis farglebsi organizacia tolerantis bazaze gaixsna mesx repatriantta sazogadoebrivi integraciis centri_axalcixesi da samtrediis raionsi sof. ianetsi. orive centri ariwurva satanado teqnikita da saswavlo literaturit. centrebis gaxsnam safuzveli Cauyara saqartvelosi dabrunebul repatriant mesxebs integraciis procesebis dawyebas _ 2007 weli organizacia `tolerantma ganaxorciela evrokomisiis mier dafinansebuli kidev erti proeqti `repatriaciidan integraciamde~ wlebsi asociacia `tolerantma~ ganaxorciela fond `Ria sazogadoeba saqartvelos~ mier dafinansebuli proeqti `gza integraciisaken~.

Successful partnership Partner organisations of Toleranti got involved in the work from the very beginning of the project: GBT Georgian Board of Trustees, headed by Ms. Khatuna Javakhadze, supervised activities undertaken within the project in Ianeti, guided the training courses, organised a number of events. The partner organisation was involved in all main activities implemented within the project. With the assistance of our partner organisation Channel 2 Union of Intellectuals under the Georgian Public Broadcaster a contract was signed with the studio, a film crew was formed to make a film about Meskh repatriates. The film made with the assistance of Channel 2 Union of Intellectuals helped to form correct public opinion about the repatriates. With the efforts of the same organisation, the film was presented at the international festivals and broadcasted through a number of TV channels. The organisation continues popularisation of the film. The preventive-gyna ecological centre by the partner organisation Union of Democrat Women offered its services to the repatriate women: provided free laboratory diagnostic services to patients, as well as free consultations of therapist and gynaecologist. Union of Democrat Women organised a number of meetingsdiscussions involving people of different age and professions. The meeting served to discuss topical issues: family violence, inclusion of women in public activities, etc. Repatriates attended all these meetings, which was, of course, extremely important for their integration. adamianuri resursi samcxe-javaxetis regionuli asociacia `tolerantis~ martvis jgufi warmatebis winapirobad yoveltvis ramdenime faqtors miicnevda: erti mxriv, ZiriTadi saqmianobis Sesabamis da sworad dagegmil aqtivobebs da meore mxriv, mudmiv zrunvas TanamSromelTa kvalifikaciis amarlebisatvis, urtiertobebs sxvadasxva samtavrobo Tu aramtavrobo organizaciebtan. asociaciis warmomadgenlebi aqtiurad monawileoben sxvadasxva trening-seminarebsi. Human Resources The management group of the Samtskhe-Javakheti regional association Toleranti always considered several factors as preconditions of the success: on the one hand, wellplanned activities relevant to the main objective and, on the other hand, constant attention to raising qualification of the personnel, relations with various governmental and nongovernmental organisations. Representatives of the association take an active part in various 7

8 training-seminars. Exchanging the innovations and knowledge with others after the seminars became a rule. Literature and material received at the trainings is then stored in the library of Toleranti and is accessible for all. The said facilitates to a great extent, having the trained personnel at the association and raising their professionalism. Members of Toleranti systematically cooperate with governmental, as well as non-governmental organisations and international organisations, in particular: Young Lawyers Association; Common Civil Movement Multinational Georgia ; Multiethnic Resource Centre for Civic Education Development; Georgian Board of Trustees; The Samtskhe-Javakheti Union of Democrat Women; Union of Meskh Repatriates; Adults Education Centre; Union of Democrat Meskhs; Samtskhe-Javakheti Media Development Association; Local government and self-government structures; Ministry of Refugees and Accommodation of Georgia. The cooperation went beyond the boundaries of Georgia, which the association deems as successful. The Director and the Chief Manager has visited the USA several times within the frames of different programmes. Members of Toleranti are ready to further deepen and intensify full-fledged partnerships. They also aspire to building new contacts. Activities of the association were several times covered by the national and regional media. Articles are published and TV coverage prepared about Toleranti. The association was able to prove itself as highly qualified; materials found by the association are used as the basis of the scientific works. All the above mentioned is the result of a long, comprehensive and laborious work. The association already has quite welltrained human resources, which can in future undertake many significant activities. Considering its experience, human resources and the quality of performance, Toleranti can become the foundation, upon which, in future, when the repatriation process becomes active, the repatriates adaptation and integration centre can be built and put into action. ukve wesad iqca, rom treningebis Semdeg xdeba siaxlis sxvatatvis gaziareba. treningebidan Camotanili literatura da masala `tolerantis~ bibliotekasi inaxeba da xelmisawvdomia yvelastvis. es mnisvnelovnad uwyobs xels asociaciis kadrebis momzadebas da zrdis mat profesionalizms. `tolerantelebi~ sistematurad TanamSromloben rogorc qartul samtavrobo da arasamtavrobo, ise saertasoriso organizaciebtan. euto evrokavsiri MRG adgilobrivi mmartvelobisa da TviTmmarTvelobis organoebi; saqartvelos ltolvilta da gansaxlebis saministro; saqartvelos sameurveo sabwoebis asociacia; samoqalaqo mozraoba mravalerovani saqartvelostvis; samoqalaqo ganatlebis ganvitarebis multietnikuri resurscentri; samcxe-javaxetis demokrat qalta kavsiri; mesx repatriantta kavsiri; axalcixis zrdasrulta ganatlebis centri; demokrat mesxta kavsiri; samcxe-javaxetis mediis ganvitarebis centri; saqartvelos axalgazrda iuristta asociacia; asociacia warmatebad miicnevs imasac, rom TanamSromloba gascda saqartvelos farglebs. `tolerantis~ direqtori da ufrosi menejeri arasamtavrobo seqtoris ganvitarebis programit stajirebaze imyofebodnen amerikis SeerTebul StatebSi. asociaciis saqmianoba araertxel moqceula respublikuri Tu regionuli mediis yuradrebis centrsi. `tolerantis~ Sesaxeb iwereba statiebi, mzaddeba satelevizio siujetebi. asociaciam SeZlo, ecvenebina kvalifikaciis marali xarisxi, mis mier moziebuli masalebi samecniero nasromebis safuzveli xdeba. yovelive es xangrzlivi, mravalmxrivi da Sromatevadi saqmianobis Sedegia. asociacias ukve hyavs sakmaod momzadebuli adamianuri resursi, romelmac samomavlod SeiZleba araerti mnisvnelovani saqmianoba ganaxorcielos. `toleranti~ sakutari gamocdilebis, kadrebis, saqmianobis xarisxis gatvaliswinebit Tavisuflad SeiZleba iqces nebismieri sazogadoebrivi programis sayrdenad. repatriaciis procesis gaaqtiurebis SemTxvevaSi `tolerantis~ mizania repatriantta integraciisa da adaptaciis centris Camoyalibeba. 8

The project Protection of Meskh repatriates rights support for integration process in Georgia What are our priorities? One of the most acute socio-political and economic problems in modern Georgia is the repatriation of the population deported by the Soviet regime from southern Georgia in 1940s. The mentioned issue became actual especially in 1999 following the accession of Georgia to the Council of Europe and the obligations assumed thereof. Pursuant to the obligations before the Council of Europe, Georgia has made certain steps (elaborated and adopted the respective law), but different attitudes in the public still persist. With the support of the organisation Toleranti and the active part of the society a number of successful activities were implemented, which comparatively improved the situation; however, the problems related to integration of repatriates still remain. The newly returned repatriates cannot independently cope with the problems facing them. The Samtskhe Javakheti regional association Toleranti started the implementation of the project Protection of Meskh repatriates rights support for integration process in Georgia from November 1, The project aimed at the active inclusion of the Meskh repatriates living in the village Ianeti of Samtredia region and Akhaltsikhe in social processes, helping them overcome ethnic and religious estrangement, their integration into the society, as well as provision of objective information on the history, life and modern life of the deported Meskhs to the local government, non-governmental organisations, representatives of ethnic minorities living in the region, overall population of the regions; facilitating formation of positive attitudes in the local population toward repatriates. The target groups of the project Protection of Meskh repatriates rights support for integration process in Georgia were repatriates living in the 9 th district of the village Ianeti, Samtredia region (30 families) and Samtskhe Javakheti (30 families in Akhatsikhe, 10 in Abastumani; total 40 families). The working group of Toleranti regularly studied problems of repatriates living in Georgia. Consequently, activities were planned based on the results of these studies. 9

10 What did we offer to repatriates? An Integration Centre was founded within the project in Akhaltsikhe, as well as in Ianeti. The Centre undertook coordination of all activities foreseen by the project. The project management team worked in four main directions. The first envisaged active information campaign, within which: A newspaper was issued; A documentary was shot; TV plots were prepared; A scientific book Famous Sons of Meskheti was published for general public; Meetings were held with the representatives of ethnic minorities, local government and non-governmental organisations; Cooperation with the local mass media was activated. The second direction envisaged educational-professional activities: Functioning of free Georgian Language courses continued actively; Preparatory courses were launched for those willing to continue their study in the accredited higher academic institutions, to learn subjects included in the programmes of the common national exams; Training courses were launched for the repatriate youth aimed at giving them general and professional knowledge and ensuring their employment, in particular: repatriate young people from Ianeti and Akhaltsikhe learned woodwork and metalwork, as well as tapestry, knitting and embroidery. The third direction of activities offered various services to repatriates: Free medical assistance; Legal advice; Advice of a psychologist; Trainings on current issues. Considerable attention was paid to cultural activities within the project, aimed at facilitating the adaptation and integration processes of repatriates to the Georgian environment. Various activities were implemented within the project to bring the repatriates closer to their roots: Creation of dance and song ensembles involving the repatriate children, their performance in Akhaltsikhe and Ianeti; A summer integration camp for the youth was a step toward integration; A well-equipped sports hall in Ianeti. 10 ra SevTavazeT repatriantebs? proeqtis farglebsi daarsda integraciuli centri rogorc axalcixesi, ise ianetsi. centri koordinacias uwevda proeqtit gatvaliswinebul yvela saqmianobas. proeqtis martvis jgufi otxi ZiriTadi mimartulebit musaobda. pirveli gulisxmobda aqtiur sainformacio kampanias, romlis farglebsic gamoica gazeti; gadarebuli iqna dokumenturi filmi; momzadda satelevizio siujetebi; gamoica samecniero popularuli xasiatis wigni `mesxetis saxelovani Svilebi~; moewyo Sexvedrebi etnikuri umciresobebis, adgilobrivi xelisuflebisa da arasamtavrobo organizaciebis warmomadgenlebtan; gaaqtiurda TanamSromloba adgilobriv masmediastan. meore mimartuleba saganmanatleblo-profesiul saqmianobas gulisxmobda. aqtiurad funqcionirebda qartuli enis ufaso kursebi; akreditebul umarles saswavlebelsi swa vlis ga grze lebis msurveltatvis gaixsna ertiani ero vnuli gamocdebit gatvaliswinebuli sagnebis Semswavleli saswavlo kursebi; Camoyalibda saswavlo kursebi repatrianti axalgazrdebis swavlis zogadi da profesiuli ganatlebisa da dasaqmebis uzrunvelyofis miznit,kerzod: axalcixisa da ianetis repatriantma axalgazrdebma Seiswavles xisa da litonis damusaveba, gobelenis damzadeba, qsova da qargva. mesame mimartulebit ganxorcielebuli saqmianobebi repatriantebs sxvadasxva saxis momsaxurebas stavazobda: ufaso samedicino konsultaciebi; iuridiuli konsultaciebi; fsiqologis rcevebi; treningebi aqtualur sakitxebze. proeqtis farglebsi didi yuradreba etmoboda kulturul RonisZiebebs, romelta mtavar mizans repatriantta qartul garemosi adaptaciisa da integraciis xe l- Sewyoba warmoadgenda. proeqtis farglebsi ganxorcielebuli sxva dasxva saqmianobebi repa tri antebis mso bliur fesvebtan da axlovebistvis tardeboda. repatrianti bavsvebis qartuli cekvisa da simreris ansamblebis Camoyalibeba, mati gamosvlebi axalcixesa da ianetsi, sazafxulo integraciuli banaki, ketilmowyobili sportuli darbazis gaxsna ianetsi axalgazrdebistvis integraciisaken gadadgmul nabijebad iqca.

Socio-information campaign The project management team always considered the provision of information to the society, especially the repatriates a priority in order to achieve the goal of the project. For this purpose various effective activities were implemented. Newspaper Pesvebi A monthly newspaper Pesvebi offers the society information on current repatriation process and its follow-up, gives a wide coverage of repatriates living conditions in Georgia. The reader had an opportunity to read views expressed by competent experts. The newspaper systematically offered objective factual information on history of deportation, respective material related to hard life the deported had. The newspaper was distributed to non-governmental organisations and different governmental structures, as well as the population of Samtskhe Javakheti, including the repatriates. The newspaper is still being issued. Famous Sons of Meskheti An informative book titled Famous Sons of Meskheti, available for a wide public, was created and published in a very short time in Georgian and Russian languages. The aim of the book was to acquaint the deported Meskhs and their descendents with their famous Orthodox Christian, as well as Catholic and Muslim ancestors, who had made significant contributions to the development and advancement of not only Meskheti, but entire Georgia. Although, the list of such persons included in the book is not complete ( Toleranti will try to plan in future publishing of the sequel of the book), the material compiled in the book clearly certifies how big is the intellectual and spiritual potential that talented people living in the ancient part of Georgia Meskheti, possess. The book was received with great interest by the local population as well as the repatriates. It helped them to better understand 11

12 their own identity, which, on its part, will prove to be a serious condition for acceleration of their integration processes with Georgian society. It is a very pleasant feeling that you have the same blood running in your veins as that of those people described in the book. I am proud that we had such ancestors, - this was the attitude of repatriates toward the book Famous Sons of Meskheti. The author of the work is Ucha Bluashvili, editor of the newspaper Pesvebi, DPhil. of History, political scientist. 12 A Pebble of a Homeland Making of the film. Our partner organisation Channel 2 Union of Intellectuals studio under the Georgian Public Broadcaster got involved in the project in the very beginning of its implementation. The film crew was formed to edit and make the film about the Meskh repatriates. The crew included: Marina Germanishvili, Sandro Darakhvelidze, Mikheil Baghdavadze, Mamuka Mazavrishvili, Besarion Ormotsadze, Mamuka Germanashvili, Ana Mchedlishvili, Mzia Lomtatidze. Consultants on the film were provided by: Merab Beridze, Ucha Bluashvili and Davit Japaridze. The film crew made the material in the village Ianeti of the Samtredia region, Ozurgeti region, Akhaltsikhe region and Tbilisi. The authors managed to cover the history of origins of the problem, as well as the modern views on this issue in such a short film. Real people, real stories, not a single false word or emotion, deep feelings of the deported repatriates, who have returned to their homeland are the main themes of the documentary. The film tells to the audience a story of a pebble taken from the home land, the strength of which helped to overcome hard years spent on a foreign land; it tells how this pebble turned into a part of the home land and brought these Georgians back. The film A Pebble of a Homeland was shown through both channels of the Georgian Public Broadcaster, channel of the Patriarchate of Georgia, as well as through local TV channels. The film A Pebble of a Homeland took part in the international festivals. On July 13-20, 2008 festival of documentary films Golden Apricot was held in Yerevan, Armenia, which was dedicated to human rights. Our film won great appreciation and interest at the festival. It was included in the catalogue Directors without Borders of the programme of the festival (pg. 210, 2008). wigni daexmara mat sakutari identobis uket gaazrebasi rac, Tavis mxriv, qartul sazogadoebasi mati integraciis procesis dacqarebis seriozuli winapiroba iqneba. `sasiamovnoa imis gancda, rom Sens ZarRvebSic im adamianta sisxli Cqefs, romelta Sesaxeb motxrobilia wignsi. vamayob, rom aseti winaprebi gvyavda~, - aseti iyo repatriantta damokidebuleba wignisadmi `mesxetis saxelovani Svilebi~. nasromi gamoica `tolerantis~ TanamSromlis, gazet `fesvebis~ redaqtoris, istoriis mecnierebata doqtoris, politolog uca bluasvilis avtorobit. `erti kenwi samsoblo~ filmis gadareba. proeqtis ganxorcielebis pirvelsave TveSi CaerTo partniori organizacia - sazogadoebriv mauwyebeltan arsebuli studia `meore arxi - inteleqtualta kavsiri~. montajisa da CawerisaTvis SeirCa mesx repatriantta Sesaxeb filmis gadamrebi jgufi. filmze musaobdnen marina germanisvili, sandro daraxvelize, mixeil bardavaze, mamuka mazavrisvili, besarion ormocaze, mamuka germanasvili, ana mwedlisvili, mzia lomtatize. filmis konsultantebi iyvnen: merab berize, uca bluasvili da davit jafarize. gadamrebi jgufi masalas irebda samtrediis raionis sofel ianetsi, ozurgetis raionsi, axalcixis raionsa da TbilisSi. avtorebma moaxerxes am mcire moculobis filmsi moeqciat rogorc TviT problemis warmosobis istoria, aseve masze drevandel dres arsebuli xedva. realuri adamianebi, mat Tavs gadaxdenili namdvili ambebi,arc erti yalbi sityva da emocia, msobliur miwaze dabrunebul deportirebulta rtuli gancdebi dokumenturi filmis mtavari Temebia. filmma SeZlo mayureblamde mietana, Tu rogor szlia samsoblodan gayolilma erti kenwis Zalam ucxoobasi gatarebuli wlebis simzimes, rogor iqca erti kenwi msobliuri miwis nawilad da qartvelebi saqartvelosi daabruna. filmi `erti kenwi samsoblo~ ucvena sazogadoebrivi mauwyeblis orive arxma, sapatriarqos televiziam, agretve adgilobrivma telekompaniam. filmma `erti kenwi samsoblo~ saertasoriso festivalebzec miiro mona wileoba wlis ivliss somxetsi - erevansi Catarda dokumenturi f i l m e b i s festivali `oqros gargari,romelic a d a m i a n i s uflebebis dacvas miezrvna. festivalze filmma sakmaod didi mowoneba da interesi daimsaxura. igi Sevida festivalis programis `rejisorebi sazrvrebis garese~ katalogsi (gverdi 210, 2008 weli).

14 What kind of services did we provide to repatriates? Medical assistance Medical consultations were provided by a family doctor to repatriates living in Samtskhe Javakheti and Ianeti. Each member of the family underwent preventive health care examinations. Patients were identified who needed regular treatment; they were prescribed a course of treatment and were placed under the constant medical observation. ra samsaxuri gavuwiet repatriantebs? samedicino momsaxurebis farglebsi samcxe-javaxetsa da ianetsi mcxovreb repatriantebs samedicino konsultacebs uwevda ojaxis eqimi. ojaxis TiToeul wevrs Cautarda profilaqtikuri gasinjvebi. gamovlindnen avadmyofebi, romlebic regularul mkurnelobas sawiroebdnen, mat daenisnat mkurnalobis kursi, imyofebodnen eqimis mudmivi metvalyureobis qves. ianetis Temis intergaciis centrsi gamoiyo samedicino kutxe, sadac yovel otxsabatsa da paraskevs mowveuli ojaxis eqimi moemsaxura repatriantebs, gauwia konsultaciebi, daunisna mkurnalobis kursi, metvalyureoba gauwia SedarebiT mzime avadmyofebs. ianetis integraciis centrsi arsebuli samedicino momsaxurebit isargebla 60-ma repatriantma. A medical corner was organised at the Integration Centre of the Ianeti community, where every Wednesday and Friday an invited family doctor provided his/her services and consultations, prescribed treatment to repatriates, held comparatively serious patients under observation. 60 repatriates benefited from the medical assistance provided at the Ianeti Integration Centre. Medical consultations were actively provided to pregnant women, women in breast-feeding and infants. Timely treatment provided by the doctor saved and healed many children. If not for the assistance provided by Toleranti, the case of little Badindar Basatova would have had a lethal outcome. A number of infants were registered at the Akhaltsikhe regional policlinics, which made it possible to make preventive vaccinations in time. samedicino konsultaciebistvis eqims gansakutrebit aqtiurad akitxavdnen fexmzime qalebi da mezuzuri dedebi, Cvili bavsvebi. eqimis droulma Carevam araerti bavsvi gadaarcina da gamoajanmrtela. rom ara `tolerantis~ mier gaweuli daxmareba, patara badindar basatovas mzime avadmyofoba tragikulad damtavrdeboda. Totally, 120 patients benefited from the medical assistance provided within the project. Within the frames of legal services qualifi ed specialists provided legal consultations to repatriates in Ianeti, as well as Akhaltsikhe. 14 Legal consultations were especially popular and applied by the newly arrived repatriates in Akhaltsikhe and Adigeni. 25 documents required for citizenship were prepared with the help of lawyer and submitted to the respective state structures. Repatriates received advice regarding the pension and recovery of original surnames; consequently, they prepared the necessary documents to submit to the relevant structures. axalcixis raionul poliklinikasi arricxvaze avida ramdenime axalsobili, ritac mat profilaqtikuri acrebis droulad Catarebis SesaZlebloba miecat. proeqtis farglebsi samedicino momsaxurebit isargebla sul 120-ma repatriantma. iuridiuli momsaxurebis farglebsi kvalificiurma specialistebma repatriantebs iuridiuli konsultaciebi gauwies rogorc ianetsi, ise axalcixesi. iuridiuli konsultaciebit gansakutrebit aqtiurad sargeblobdnen axalcixesa da adigenis raionebsi axlad Camosuli repatriantebi. iuristis daxmarebit momzadda moqalaqeobis misarebad sawiro 25 sabuti da gadaegzavna satanado saxelmwifo struqturebs. repatriantebma iurists mimartes

Number of those willing to receive legal service increased quarterly 38 persons in the first quarter; 46 in the second; 56 and 60 in the subsequent quarters. None of the questions raised by repatriates before the lawyer was left without an answer. There were cases, when the lawyer personally contacted the respective state structures and received up-to-date information, which he/she then communicated to the repatriate concerned. Strong, solid and united group a precondition of successful educational and professional work Educational and vocational courses were considered priority within the project, which were implemented in Akhaltsikhe and Ianeti in the following directions: first, courses for the schoolleavers, Georgian and English language courses; and the second, woodwork and metalwork, as well as tapestry courses. The aim of the letter was to facilitate the employment of the repatriates. All the courses were conducted by qualified teachers.

Interest toward the Georgian language courses was rather big in Abastumani. Two groups were formed in the beginning of the project: for school children and adults. The main goal of the courses was not only teaching the basic speaking skills in Georgian, but to help the pupils cope with the curriculum. Lessons were held using innovative approaches and interactive method. At the end of the project, students were able to speak freely about the topics, which they know and are interested in, exchange views on various issues, read adapted texts and draft personal letters. Naturally, they do not have any problems in communicating with the population of the village. Number of repatriates has increased in Abastumani. Considering that the newly arrived repatriates need to start learning Georgian from alphabet and the capacities of students in the group were uneven, additional lessons were planned and conducted. 15

16 Responding the requirements of common national exams ertiani erovnuli gamocdebis motxovnata sapasuxod Taking into account requirements of common national exams, repatriates had to meet the requirements set by the common national exams centre. To pass common national exams, a student has to know not only the Georgian language, mathematics and general skills, but also, considering the structure and specificities of the test exams, he/she should develop relevant skills to do the tests. For this purpose, targeted Georgian and English language courses were planned. A special short-term course was elaborated and lessons took a shape of training-seminars. We achieved considerable results in this respect. One of the students successfully passed exams at the Akhaltsikhe Institute, at the department of Pedagogics; as for those, who could not pass the exams, they may use their knowledge and skills of doing tests in future. Parents expressed great appreciation for conducting lessons in mathematics and general skills, as the pupils had problems in learning these subjects at school. One of the indictors of the project was the fact that two pupils of the Armenian school in Akhaltsikhe expressed willingness to attend preparatory classes for the school-leavers. Consequently, they learned the subjects together with the repatriate children as foreseen by the project. ertiani erovnuli gamocdebis motxovnebidan gamomdinare, sawiro gaxda repatriant abiturientebs ertiani erovnuli gamocdebis centris motxovnebi daezliat. erovnuli gamocdebis Casabareblad abiturients swirdeba ara marto qartuli enis, matematikis codna da zogadi unarebis floba, aramed sagamocdo testebis struqturisa da specifikis gatvaliswinebit matze musobis garkveuli unar- Cvevebis gamomusaveba. swored amitom qartulisa da ucxo enis kursebi daigegma mizanmimartulad.

Professional retraining necessary precondition of the employment Two vocational courses were launched at the Integration Centre of the Ianety community. In order to implement this activity effectively, professional teachers were selected and the classroom was equipped with all necessary instruments. The students learned woodwork and metalwork, as well as tapestry technology and, in fact, made different articles themselves. Vocational courses proved rather successful. The students acquired handicraft which they may use for employment purposes in future. Articles and souvenirs made with considerable mastery will increase chances of starting private businesses among the repatriates. Students works made of wood, metal, as well as tapestry, which proved to be of considerable high quality, were presented at the exhibition held in May-June in Tbilisi, Imereti and Samtskhe Javakheti. Seminars were held for repatriates living in Ianeti on First Aid. The students acquired the necessary first aid skills: measuring the temperature, blood pressure, initial treatment of wounds, etc. qartul tradiciebtan dasabruneblad Back to Georgian traditions ianetis profesiuli saxelosno ormagi datvirtvit musaobda. repatriantebs sasualeba hqondat, dauflebodnen xelobas, SeeZinaT profesia da amit gascenodat dasaqmebis meti SesaZlebloba. meore mxriv, dabrunebodnen winapartagan Semonaxul xelobebs _ xeze da qvaze kvetis, Teqis motelvis xalxur tradiciebs.

18 specially prepared dances, songs, poetry. Representatives of the Ianeti community, self-government (Sakrebulo) of Samtredia and the TV attended the event. A TV coverage was prepared and broadcasted through Samtredia TV channel. At the event children of Ianeti received the New Year presents. Courses of Georgian folk dances and songs were continued within the project in Akhaltsikhe and Ianeti. The repatriate children learned Georgian folk songs and dances. The two groups were joined in one and an ensemble Pesvebi formed, which actively participates, with the help of consultants, in various events organised in their school, as well as other regions of Georgia. The ensemble with its repertoire participated in folk festival Shotaoba held in 2008 in Aspindza, which the First lady of Georgia Mrs. Sandra Rulovs also attended. The repatriate children s ensemble formed under the organisation Toleranti won the grand prize of the Festival Bani.. A sports-hall for the Ianeti children A sports-hall was renovated and equipped with all necessary sport facilities at the 9 th district base school of the village Ianeti, Samtredia region. The schoolchildren of Ianeti had to attend the physical training classes outdoors. The bad weather could any time hamper the classes. Therefore, it was decided to renovate the hall. The hall on the first floor of the Ianeti base school, which needed a large-scale repair, was completely overhauled. Representatives of the local communities took an active part in the repair works. In fact, they did all the work. After the hall was repaired, preparations were started to equip it with necessary sport facilities. A basketball teaching section was formed and the respective sportswear bought for the members of the section. Opening of the sports-hall Opening ceremony of the sports-hall was held at the 9 th district base school in Ianeti.

The Atskuri youth camp offered them a very interesting 19

20 programme. Reasonably planned leisure and work, activities fit for the age of the participants made those holidays diverse and interesting. Several unforgettable excursions were organised during those two weeks. The participants visited Abastumani, Observatory, Borjomi- Kharagauli National Park. Participants of ecological camp did not forget or feel lazy to take care of environment. Living together at the camp erased all borders of estrangement. During the days spent at the camp the participants learned Georgian better and in a natural environment, got acquainted with Georgian culture and traditions, exchanged their experience, learned new things, found common interests. The result of those days spent at the camp was the facts of continued relations between children, their active contacts through correspondence, wish to get closer that made the bonds between them reliable and solid. The integration camp for the project target group was the reason and goal at the same time. sazafxulo integraciuli banaki. proeqtis farglebsi 35-ma repatriantma ori kviris ganmavlobasi awyuris axalgazrdul integraciul banaksi daisvena. 15-dan 29 ivlisamde axalcixel,abastumnel, ianetel, ozurgetel repatriantebs sasualeba hqondat, gaeziarebinat banaksi Tanacxovrebis sixaruli. awyuris axalgazrdulma banakma damsveneblebs Zalian saintereso programa SesTavaza. zomierad Serwymulma gartobam da saqmianobam, asakis Sesaferma aqtivobebma dasveneba mravalferovani gaxada. or kvirasi ramdenime dauviwyari eqskursiac moewyo. axalgazrdebma moiares abastumani, guldasmit daatvalieres observatoria, imyofe bodnen borjomxaragaulis erovnul parksi. ekologiuri banakis damsveneblebs arc garemos movla daviwyebiat da dazarebiat. banaksi Tanacxovrebam wasala gaucxovebis yvela zrvari. banaksi gatarebulma dreebma daitia qartulis uket da bunebrivad atviseba, qartul kulturisa da tradiciebis gacnoba, bavsvuri gamocdilebis gaziareba, siaxlis swavla, saerto interesebis gamonaxva. dauviwyari dreebis gamozaxilad iqca banakis garet urtiertobebis gagrzelebis faqtebi, aqtiuri mimowera, daaxloebis survili, ramac mati kavsirebi sando da myari gaxada. proeqtis samizne jgufistvis es integraciuli banakis mowyobis mizezic iyo da mizanic.
