Earth hour in Georgia

Dear friends !

23.05.2009

We live in Gori,Georgia. During Russian-Georgian war in August,2008, our city was in the epicenter of war operations. It was terrible. Fortunately, our school wasn’t damaged, but several trees dried off. We decided to plant new trees instead of damaged ones on May 22.
We are happy we joined such an interesting activity. We consider it’s a good opportunity to take care of earth’s ecology and make friends in different countries.
Now a few words about our activity : everything seemed to be green that day ; green logos on white t-shirts, green balls, plants and trees. We held an exhibition of paintings, drawing competition on asphalt, planted plants, we sang alltogether the song “We are the world” and at the end we tasted the symbolic cake “Green Wave” and made a memorable autographs on the poster.
Important guests from “UNICEF”, EU and government attended our activity.
We are happy we are the first participants from Georgia and that we suggested our friends from different countries to join us.
I’m sure the number of participants from Georgia will increase significantly next year.
We suggest friendship to all who reads this letter.

EUMM SCHOOL PRESENTATION IN GORI 22.05.2009

As part of the European Programme of Education, EUMM Field Office Gori visited the comprehensive school n.3 in Gori town and participated in Green Wave Day. This activity takes place in 30 different countries at the same time and it is funded by the European Union with the motto: ” One school, one tree, one gift to nature” This event aimed to increase awareness among the young generation about environmental issues. The EUMM Monitoring Team distributed leaflets and posters and shared some information on the work of EUMM in Georgia. The school itself organized many group works involving the children singing - "We Are The World", drawing, and planting trees to celebrate and respect the natural environment which surrounds us. The whole school was involved in this celebration with around 300 children, mainly from the primary school. The whole school enthusiastically welcomed EUMM monitors and both children and teachers showed great interest regarding the aims and the objectives of the Mission.
