Dear Friends of GLOW,
We have some updates! We are pleased to report that our first small grants program recipient has completed her project, and another girl is well on her way to the finish line.
Lika Khutsiberidze designed and implemented her community project with the guidance of our Small Grants committee members. Lika held a photography contest to motivate youth in her small mountain to be active and seek a positive creative outlet. Lika called on students from all schools in her town of Tkibuli to submit photos pertaining to the theme of children’s rights or a theme of their choice. She and her partner organization received about 50 photos in total. Lika and her partners chose the best 25 photos and printed them to display in a local cafe. Together, they held a gallery event where students, teachers, and governmental organizations attended. At the gallery event, three winners were awarded for best photos, and congratulated for their work.
Our next volunteer, Keti Mouravidze is currently in the implementation process of her small grant. Keti is planning to give presentations at her school about the rights of people with disabilities, and she will hold a small field day in May for all community members to participate in. We can’t wait to see the results!
Finally, we just completed our second annual project design and management conference for our new crop of 26 Taking GLOW Home volunteers. Each girl left the conference with a draft project plan. The next small grants deadline is in May, and we are excited to see the results!
All the Best,
The GLOW Georgia Team
