"It was very interesting to work on the project. We were collecting photos and memories. The comments indicated that visitors are interested in this topic. They also shared with us their photos and information. The competition is over, but we are going to continue our work in summertime to search and upload new information onto the page," said Ana Ganishvili, civics club leader and student of Jinvali public school.
The project “Facebook Museum of Jinvali Water Reservoir” was awarded in the special nomination category “Sympathy of Jury”.
