In Republic of Georgia, Elderly Receive Aid from OGT Norfolk

Women for Justice in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia received Orphan Grain Train Norfolk’s container that shipped in December. The contents were distributed in a small village where mostly elderly people live. Most of them cannot leave their homes and are bedridden. The people in the photos are family members or caregivers of these elderly individuals who take care of them. These women also selected clothing for themselves. Thank you, to all the people who sewed quilts, donated clothing, packed Christmas boxes, packed boxes, loaded the container and continue to support this mission.
