Went a little crazy and posted 6 images instead of the curent usual 4.  It's because they're all in 1 theme:  Ushguli school.  I've pictured the school exterior as a whole before; here are some details.

Top, some of my colleagues, the other teachers, in their staff room; note the little woodburning stove.  The lady in black 3rd from left and her husband have both been teaching here since the school's beginning 51 years ago; I was at its - and thus their - golden anniversary.  At least I was in the village on the day; there was no money for a ceremony

Firewood for the schoolrooms, waiting to be cut and split by volunteer parents or other villagers

Some recent things made by the students - grades 1-12 study here

My 1st group, comprising children ages 7-10.  Included are Levan, far right, fatherless for several years, the politest and friendliest of the lot; and Marekhi, behind the 2 with identical hats at left - she's my 5-star student, with perfect scores on my alphabet test, capital and small letters, twice

The same group enjoying a snow-hill made from shovellings off the roof

The blackboard after my English lesson for today - new words circled to learn; here we have English, my phonetic version especially for Svans, and the Georgian meaning
