Awarding the Graduates
Guria. The awarding ceremony of the first group of graduates
of the Scholarship Program for Access to Learning English Language took place
on January 17 in the Ozurgeti Civic Engagement Center.
The Scholarship Program for
Access to Learning English Language is implemented by the US organization PH-International and the "Guria Youth Resource Center” is its partner in
Guria. This program was implemented in four cities of Georgia: Rustavi, Gori,
Akhaltsikhe and Ozurgeti. It aims to make learning of the English language
available to the youth from socially vulnerable and economically poor families.
Learning course lasted two years
and included 4 semesters from March 2011 to December 2012. 25 teenagers of the
age of 14-18 years from socially vulnerable families have participated in the
program. Along with the lessons in English, up to 10 extra events were held for
them concerning the American culture, traditions, history and customs. Two
summer camps were organized. Apart from learning English, children got familiar
with the American culture and customs and developed leadership skills.
