Energy Project in Gori school #7

EcoVision has together with Norges Naturvernforbund rebuilt the minor wing of school number 7 in Gori, Georgia. All the windows were blown out when a bomb hit nearby the school during the war actions in August. 1500 pupils have since the war had to attend education in regional schools.

The minor wing was re-opened on the 1st of February, with new and improved windows. Norges Naturvernforbund works in Georgia together with EcoVision on environmental education and demonstration of improved energy efficiency and utilization of renewable energy. In 2008 three villages was picked out to participate in pilot energy projects. Improvement of old windows at schools is also is one of the key elements in this work. School number 7 in Gori has for several years participated in the educational project SPARE. When the school was so severely hit during the war, and with no financial possibilities for reparations, it was natural to use part of the funding to help the school.
Fortunately, the main construction of the building was saved, but most of windows were broken. Most of the walls were damaged and one wall in the gym was destroyed. The boiler-room was ruined and the roof of the building was also broken. Under the restoration, we have used high quality windows with double glasses for classrooms, corridors, stair halls and toilets in the given wing. All school windows were rehabilitated under the SPARE project.
The school administration and representatives of the Georgian Ministry of Education are very satisfied by the quality of the rehabilitation. Our activities have highly stimulated the school administration and they decided to immediately start additional activities to prepare school for future rehabilitation. All classrooms in the saved wing has now been cleaned from broken window glasses and ruins. Locks for all the classrooms were made. School inventory was stored in locked safe and the cleaned classrooms. The nearby territory of the rehabilitated wing was also cleaned from broken window glasses and ruins. The school administration expressed sincere gratitude to Norges Naturvernforbund.
