As I mentioned in a previous post, a message posted to a mailing list saw me pay a visit to an Armenian Catholic center in Tbilisi. Although Armenians are mainly Apostolic, Catholic Armenians are still an important minority in both Armenia and Georgia. Today’s return visit wasn’t just to photograph the kids at the center though. It was also to help them with their English language skills.
Now, while I’ve taught many Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Abkhazian and Ossetian journalists and activists either conflict sensitive reporting or new and social media skills, I’ve never taught English to anyone, let alone children. Thankfully, another Brit turned up to help out and she happened to be from around Bristol, the city that I’ve spent most of my life in back home in England.
Coincidentally, Bristol is also twinned with Tbilisi although that’s perhaps for another post. Anyway, great kids and a great time. Some photos from today.
