AWAY Georgia October

 

TACC's "TartanTbilisi" donation was £15,000 across two good causes. The first was recommended to us by the British Embassy in Tbilisi - a premature baby unit for orphaned infants admitted to the Tbilisi Infant Hospital.  The second was First Step, a group of orphanages for handicapped children.

 

For the Tbilisi Infant Hospital, the bulk of the £10,000 donated was to buy a new incubator, medicines, other equipment and nappies.  We also donated blankets and baby clothes.

 

First Step are day-centres set up by volunteers for handicapped children from various homes in Tbilisi.  The actual £5,000 donation was made to Martkopi – an orphanage for handicapped children in desperate need of funding.
