“In a scary, scary forest, in a scary, scary house, scary, scary people live…” Do you remember this horror story from childhood? Today we will tell you about such a house. But there are no scary people in this house. Children live there, they are not scary at all, they are just beautiful Georgian children.

“I always wear someone’s old clothes – I have no other. It is disgusting, but my mother cannot buy me anything new… Ma’am, you know – we are poor!” – 11-year-old Carlo addresses me with these words. He shyly lowers his eyes, where one can see hurt and sadness, as if the boy had matured ahead of time, having understood that life is unfair.

Meet Zhuzhuna Akhaladze (36 years old): “At night, when my children are sleeping, I get up several times and listen to each child: how are they breathing, aren’t they sick? And I can’t stop kissing them! I have nothing else to give them but my love.”

And hunger can take the lives of those who remained…
One year passed since the tragedy in Baghdati happened when the fire took the lives of the whole Gorgodze family. The fire devoured four innocent children and their mother alive… Do you remember what a tragedy it was, how everyone cried and sobbed: “If we could, we would have saved them… We would have made their life better…” But unfortunately, sobbing will not get the children back to life.

High, high in the mountains, in the Tianeti region, there is a village called Bochorma. Only wild animals live good there, but people live in misery. And in the Guchashvili family, three poor people are literally dying of terrible poverty! They don’t even have anyone to ask for alms, except, perhaps, the animals in the forest.
When we told you the story of this family, we had no doubt that certain people would respond the call for help! Real Georgians, those who understand that it is the Georgian villages that are the cradle of our culture.

“It’s also very, very tasty to eat cookies with sweet milk! – says little Barbara enthusiastically. – And watching cartoons is great too. You know, Gio watches them all day long…”
“We are so grateful to you, you brought joy to our family and laughter to our children, you gave us hope,” says Veriko Kirvalidze with tears in her eyes.
