Brief Comments Rosemary, thanks for your comments. I have to admit after long days of preparing materials, fighting with bad copier machines, meetings, and trainings, I do not write that much but we will share alot when we get back. We have actually gone to several Masses. They have what I call "rolling" Masses and people come and go in and out of the Mass. Yesterday was St. Nino's Holy Day--she is the Nun who was instrumental in spreading the Faith in the 4th century. Thanks for your help. Peace. Joe & Fran
Your wonderful trip Your descriptions of the events, while brief, are so moving. I can't wait to visit with you when you return and see the pictures. God bless!
Makes me Proud! Joe - it gives me such a great feeling knowing you are spreading the power of mentoring to Georgia. I can't think of a better person to be our ambassador. Enjoy!
Thanks for the updates. Sounds like you have a pretty aggressive implementation plan and hope all is going well. We are working hard to spread the word about the work going on in Georgia and appreciate the work you and Tina are doing on behalf of PMA! Keep the updates coming...Chris
Communication! That is scary how words have different connotations and power. Glad you all cleared the mentor/freind semantics early before things got underway.
Wow! Exciting! Is there any way to upload any pics for us all to see? Do they see any challenges implementing our model thus far? Thinking of you guys!
dos vedaƱa This is a wonderful opportunity for the georgians to learn of our great program and implement the things that will help them the most. Enjoy learning of their country and culture. You will have so much to share. Pictures of the food please:)
Thank you for the blog. In the post soviet and post chaos/corruption environment it is an extraordinary achievement that we are talking about reforming juvenile justice system. All youth need positive rolemodeles, especially the ones in the system. I think there should also be implementation of programs that will help to reintegrate them into the society. This is a great start and I am very happy to see it happening.
Envias and proud of you guys Wish we were there along side of you. Send pictures!! That way will feel like were there. Good luck and have fun. Because that to me is what mentoring is abought. A fellow mentor and partner. Mark
