Rustavi ACCESS Program Hosts an Enrichment Activity Devoted to the U.S Navy
On March 23, American Corner in Rustavi hosted an Access Program enrichment activity devoted to the U.S. Navy. The session was led by special guest – U.S. Marines. Students had an opportunity to get familiar with special military gear, equipment and uniforms. During the session Access Program participants learned about the U.S Navy, daily routines and duties of U.S Marines and heard interesting stories about the adventures of individual soldiers. American guests spoke very high of the achievements and standards of Georgian military forces, which clearly filled the hearts of the students with pride. The enrichment activity finished with a Q&A session, during which the access students asked multiple questions about the life of American Marines, being homesick and choosing such a difficult and brave profession.

Success Stories
 Dianne Zhambakhidze was once a shy and silent student, but that was before she enrolled in Access. It took her nearly a year to find her voice, but now she is one of the most helpful and friendly members of the group. Peers admire her diligence and hard work and always pay extra attention to what she has to say in class when she answers questions and gives advice on homework problems. > More Second rotation of the Access program in Adjara region of Georgia started with its own set of challenges. After consultations with PH, “Changes without Borders” the implementing partner of the Access program decided to cast the participatory net wider to the outer and more remote locations of Adjara. The level of education and achievement among youth, in those remote locations, is lower than that in the Batumi public schools. Although over 200 applications were received, general starting level of language competencies among the selected 25 Access students was dramatically low. The majority of students could hardly read in English > More  |
