War is the most terrible man-made disaster. Those who are waging wars do not think of the devastating impact it has on people, especially on children. Children are the ones who bear the heaviest burden of war.

During the August war in Georgia nearly 40,000 children were affected. The majority of these children experienced emotional distress and psycho-social difficulties. Experts believe that the trauma experienced during the conflict may have long-lasting effect.

The pictures presented at this exhibition are amazing and well reflect the pain and sorrow these talented young photographers experienced during the conflict days and afterwards, when they saw the destruction caused by war and when they met people whose lives were shattered.

Most of these children may not become professional photographers but the experience received and a sense of self-confidence acquired during the photo workshop will somehow influence their lives.

We would like to have our hats off to these children and wish that their wish for PEACE comes true. We do hope they have many more opportunities ahead to fully realize their potential.

“This made me feel very sad. My house in the village Ergneti was burnt too and it breaks my heart. I am also sad because I can’t go back to my village, where I spent all my childhood, which was burnt with my house as well. I left my memories and lots of favourite toys in the house.”

“I took a photo of the sky as it brings peace”, said Melano Pisadze from Gori, “Every time I look at the sky I get comfortable and calm. I feel bad as I see burnt houses and shops. I never thought something like this could have happened to Georgia.”

“We went to the public school #10 to see two IDP children,” said Ilia Khubuluri “At first the children were reluctant but then we explained everything and they l e t us take their photos. The children reacted even at the slightest noises. Some children had psychological problems and others were physically injured as a result of the war.”

“Then we visited our friend Dato.” continued Ilia , “Dato’s brother and grandma died as a result of this war. Then we met a child who was deeply sad because his parents died. We took a photo of the burnt school #7, houses without windows, houses being reconstructed, old woman who survived the war by accident. She said that she was saved by Virgin Mary. She showed us the verses she wrote.”

“Smile and happiness will fill the air once the IDPs return to their homes and everybody w i l l be happy living in the prosperous country,” dreams Nino Vardzelashvili, “When I was taking photos of each and every destroyed house, I couldn’t help wondering where the owners of the houses were living. I wanted to find

them and t e l l them to never loose hope as everything would be alright very soon.”

Despite the feeling of sadness and depression these children had, all of them maintained the hope that one day there would be peace again..

In October 2008 a five-day photography workshop was held for 22 Children of age 10–17 in the town of Gori, heavily bombarded during the recent conflict in and around South Ossetia, Georgia. The seminar was organized by UNICEF, the local NGO Biliki and was facilitated by the UNICEF photographer Giacomo Pirozzi. The seminar involved children from Gori and nearby villages affected by the conflict. Some of the children were IDPs whose houses were burnt and destroyed and some of them even lost their close relatives during the shelling. The workshop aimed at equipping the children with basic skills in photography as well as helped them to recover from the traumatic experience. During the first two days of the training children learned about the basics of photography and they were given digital cameras from UNICEF. The third day children went out to take photos. They visited IDP collective centres, schools and villages heavily damaged during the hostilities. Many of them were holding cameras for the first time. They were so happy that from now on they were able to document the most interesting moments of their life .

“ I have been waiting for this for two days,” said 13 years old Teona Menabdishvili from Gori. “And now I can finally take photos. We went to the kindergarten housing IDPs. As I spoke with them, I realized that I didn’t really understand what they went through. I saw their eyes and faces that radiated hope. Most of them had no houses. They were assuring us that everything would be alright. Houses around are rebuilt and this somehow buries the unfortunatet races of the war but they can’ t be deleted from poor people’s hearts. Taking these photos and looking at this destroyed area breaks our hearts”.

“My photos show how people live after the war and what they feel and what they worry about”, said 11 years old Omari Baliashvili from Gori. “I’ve been through the war and I thought Gori stopped existence. I saw them destroying and burning Gori on TV. I thought I would never be able to go back home. But the burnt houses were reconstructed and some of the families even returned to their houses.”

“ I took photos of destroyed and burnt houses”, said 13 years old Lika Kasradze who joined the workshop with her brother Vasiko.
