Corps Conducts Manglisi Eco-Camp For Youth Of Georgia
From July 24 to July 28, 2005, the Peace Corps operated its second of two ecology camps for Georgian teens. The camps educated teens on various environmental topics ranging from livestock management to community building to nature preservation and leadership development. The students heard speakers from all corners of Georgia, as well as from the OSCE and various NGOs throughout the region. They participated in nature hikes, bird watching, and other outdoor activities. For four days, the students experienced, many for the first time, an outdoor camping experience. They lived in tents in the woods outside Manglisi and spent time in the Algeti Nature Reserve that bordered the camp. The first weeks camp was for 12 to 14 year olds, and the second weeks camp was for 15 to 17 year olds. Around 20 students attended each camp. Five student applications for the camp were sent to each Peace Corps volunteer throughout Georgia to ensure regional diversity. Student applications were evaluated based upon the candidates environmental awareness and interest in leadership. The Manglisi camps were planned months in advance and received financial support from the US Embassy, the OSCE, and a Peace Corps Partnership Grant. |
