September 1, Tbilisi, Georgia.
's almost 4 am and Tbilisi, the air temperature does not justify the suitcase full of clothes in the autumn, we have "generously" on board because the good sense to have reminded us that heat is better to suffer the cold. Today it was hot, very hot. And so, a bit 'as Toto and Peppino arriving at Central Station in Milan, Elisa and I begin our first mission in the land of the golden fleece.
Ettore (Italian colleague Caritas) welcomes us impeccable (despite the alarm awkward for everyone) and immediately presents us with Kaka. Elisa, I know: you do not write well and who knows how to pronounce, but as you approach the game you do not expect, do a minimum of soccer training!
E 'night, almost morning already, the city is semi-desert, but also should have Kaka in a hurry to get home as zigzagging happily touches, without batting an eyelid, the 140. The emotions here are not lacking.
Three, four hours of sleep and then you begin. We know now the team of Caritas Georgia, history and the sad events of the conflict (much older than that of August 2008) and services that reach an impressive number of people. Ah, almost dimenticavo! Kaka ci scarica e il primo profumo che sentiamo è delizioso: pane appena sfornato. Sì, perché Caritas Georgia ogni giorno sforna una quantità industriale (letterale) di pane che in parte vende ai migliori negozi e alberghi della città e in parte dona ai numerosissimi poveri che raggiunge in ogni dove.
Anche ad Isani. Vecchio ospedale in completo stato di abbandono occupato da 1 anno da circa 800 profughi (80% ossetini, 20% abkhazi) sfollati durante la guerra dei 7 giorni. Qui l’odore è meno gradevole, i colori te li devi immaginare, visto che ormai l’intonaco è a vista. Per settimane questa gente che arrivava dai villaggi non ha avuto acqua potabile, servizi igienici, elettricità. Now someone eager to return to cultivate their land, fertile and generous, trying to grow some tomatoes in the lane.
affected, as always, the drawings of children who have recounted the war from their point of view.
Today Isani 200 new refugees arrive. Here, the fear seems to be passed.
