Hello, I am Tini and I am a teacher!

Youthful, energetic, courageous – these three words unite the individuals who are currently teaching Georgian to ethnic minorities in the regions of Georgia. As known, the project “Georgian Language for Future Success” has been implemented since September.

The energy of the project participants is also evidenced by the fact that, alongside their primary work, the young teachers share their impressions with others through blogs.

“Hello, I am Tini and I am a teacher! No, I lied to you a little, I sincerely wish to be a teacher, a very good teacher, you know, a teacher like the ones in Dumbadze's works... but for now, I am taking my heavy first steps, and God willing, perhaps I will reach the end?!” – writes on her blog Tinatin Ghviniashvili, a Georgian language teacher at the public school of the village of Kvemo Orozmani.

Participation in the aforementioned program and teaching Georgian to ethnic minorities on her blog is called “A Dream Come True” by Nato Gotsiridze, who recounts how a new life began for her in Bolnisi, in the village of Javshaniani, where she teaches reading and writing in Georgian to ethnic Azerbaijanis.

“...After this, my student Fari Abdulaeva really wanted to explore Tbilisi; I made this dream come true for her and hosted her in my home. I showed her the sights of Tbilisi, we visited both Muslim and Christian shrines. Fari saw Tbilisi with her own eyes...” – writes Nato Gotsiridze.
