The first meeting was devoted to familiarization with each other. Everyone said about themselves - their name, what class they are in, etc. One handsome, red-haired boy did not say anything. His brother and sister said that he does not speak and attends lessons with his mother. But the child spoke – he gave an answer to the teacher, who said that she wanted to be friends with him ... Then Anna worked especially with this boy, and every day the communication became better and better.
In May 6 children with their mothers from 7 to 12 years old stayed in the Rehabilitation Center. The children got up early and waited for the teacher - they met her every morning with surprises, drawings, applications.
- These are wonderful children, - says Anna. – We had a lot of interesting stories during these 10 years. Everything was memorable for them and for me.
These days the children lived a different life. They saw the calm, happy faces of their mothers. They felt care, warmth, attention. And they returned to their cities with a positive attitude - with mothers who became stronger and more self-confident.
And the Rehabilitation Center of the Women Fund "Sukhumi" will soon accept new mothers with their children. Anna Lomidze is already preparing to meet them...
The project is implemented with the support of the organization Brot
für die Welt - Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst (Germany)
