Program
The National Program Committee is made up of the Program Commissioner,
Rgional Commissioners and experienced leaders who are responsible for creation,
implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the current programs on all
levels.
In 1996 the following age ranges were identified: Baya - 7-9 years,
Tsitsinatela - 10-12 years, Gvirila - 13-15 years, Dia - 16-23 years.
Appopriate programs for all groups were drawn up and approved by National
Conference. But one-year of practical experience and evaluation of the
programs led to improvements to the programs. Thus two age groups of "10-12"
and "13-15" years were proposed to be mixed into one age program.
The new program contains 7 main points:
Be
your best
you
and your community
World
around you
World
of well-being
Best
housekeeper
World
of the Arts
World
of the out-of-doors
A new scheme of the age groups and programs has been considered by the
National Program Committee and was approved at the National Conference
in 1999.
The main purpose of these programs is to create girls' communities, help
them to meet their needs and develop their potential skills. Besides the
above programs the Committee involve our girls in various small projects:
Supporting
disabled children and adults (there are plenty of Abkhazian
war victims located in communal centers).
Taking
care of solitary aged people.
Humanitarian
acts aimed to providing assistance to single mothers.
Cooperating
with state orphanage institutions.
Participation
in small events together with children from IDPs' families.
Joint
events with state youth institutions in terms of training leaders,
running service projects for refugee children.
Putting
into practice ecological projects ("My Garden", "National Park",
"Pathfinders", etc.).
3
service projects run together with Irish, American and Georgian leaders
in 1996-1998.
Currently the National Program Committee is identifying the priorities
for future projects that will help it to meet main request of those involved
in the Girl Scouts Movement in Georgia.
