I’m full of emotion, after the days spent in Khobi. 10 days are enough to have good attitude towards the members of your camp. When I see them, I feel great joy. It seems to me that this summer was the best; also I made a lot of friends.
My life can be divided in two periods: before and after camp. We had lots of fun, went for strolls, and made parties. I’m proud to be the member of club “Temple” and advice our youth to join us.

It is wonderful feeling, when you spend 10 days in the ancient fortress of your country, studying its history and put your contribution in its restoration. The days spent in Kheta Fortress are the best in my life. I’ve learned many things. I hope to take part in the expedition of club “Temple” next year too.

Every Georgian must take part in this project, put one brick to protect the heritage. The Archbishop of Georgia Ilia II blessed it and I’m sure each member will be blessed by God.
We knew we would have had work in Ujarma. We cleaned the tower, its walls covered with ground.
Together with the work we arranged different measures, tried to make every day unforgettable.
I want to thank people who let us take part in this project. By my opinion, every Georgian must take part in it, we’re the generation, to take care for our national heritage, save it and hand to the future generation as our ancestors brought them to us.

I don’t think it is possible to find the place in Georgia where are no reminders of the past, for example old church or ruins of fortress. According the word of V.Beridze - Georgia is rich with historical monument and they need care.
The coordinator of club Temple Maia Mikaia gave us the opportunity the students of University of Sokhumi to take part in the project “Knight”.
This summer will be unforgettable. We spent 10 beautiful days in Manavi Fortress. Manavi is a village in Sagarejo region. It is damaged and consists of two parts. There are three churches in the middle of the fortress; all these are surrounded by a fence.
Students took part in restoration and archeological excavation we were full of interest as we were allowed to watch the things discovered during excavation. We spent evenings around fire sang songs and danced. I want to thank archeologist Guka Gligvashvili who gave each us new information about the history of Georgia.
We had strange feeling while living in the residence of King Erekle.
I want to thank everyone, who arranged the 10 days we spent there and let us do our contribution in remaining national inheritance.
... And the last, my great wish as every Georgian man’s, to see the flag of club “Temple” in Abhazia and Samachablo where are many historical monuments and they need restoration. I hope Georgia will return its lost parts to its country and people.

This project was very interesting, we were impressed. A kitchen with dishes was found during cleaning works. Our group had very responsible job. We went to the museum of Mtskheta, it was wonderful, saw already found unique things.
Thousand of tourists visited Bebristsikhe every day. Czech tourists were interested in club “Temple”, Georgian history and culture. They began work with us and became the members of club “Temple”.

It is very pleasant when you get close to the treasure and inheritance of your national culture. This opportunity gave us club “Temple”. A group of 16 people went to Mtsketa, Bebristsikhe. This fortress is not very huge.
It is great feeling when you take part in discovery of ancient things; you have connection with your past. The kitchen things were found, they will be put in a museum, in order to know the past our country.

It was really great.
Everything began with very tiring way, it lasted 8 hours and it was very hot, but seeing Petra Fortress, we didn’t remember tiring travel.
Works... discoveries... sea... entertainment... excursions... these happened there, in Tsikhisdziri, Petra...
I had original birthday party with an original cake in Tsikhisdziri...
The nights in Petra were especially full with emotions, the guitar, funny stories, much laugh and very original questions to leaders.
If a night can be drawn, I would have cloned it by all means.

Tsikhisdziri is a wonderful place... fortress Petra – belonging to the VI century. Calm sea and great nature. All of us had feeling of pride, as if we all went to past. We imagined the building process of the fortress. We worked too, did the pre-restoration works. While archeological works mosaic in church altar was found, vine was expressed on it, which belonged to VI century. TV reporters and Minister of Culture visited us because of this fact. The discovery was of great importance for our country and we were very proud of it. 10 days passed very quickly. We could not leave the place without tears on our eyes, and the same time we were happy, as we put our little contribution in saving the fortress. Club “Temple” gave us the opportunity to get acquainted to the cultural inheritance received from old generation. We exactly serve the protection of cultural inheritance.

I was first time in a camp and in Truso too. I thought Kazbegi was only Gergeti and glacier before. It was difficult to imagine living in a tower, riding horses, and became “Tergdaleuli” so easily. It was absolutely new world without telephone and television. We had lots of fun, special fun; I don’t think there is such place in the world where you can sunbathe and the same time watch the peak, covered with snow.

Cold weather, uncommon for summer, white glacier, a mountain after mountain, noisy river Tergi, living in a tower, built 4 centuries ago, returning to past... A month spent in Trusi Ravine is really unforgettable.
The members of club “Temple” have sweet reminders connected with reconstruction and cleaning works of Zaqagora Fortress.
We had excursions, visited villages: Kharatkau, Ketrisi, Suatisi; Saw churches, swam over the river Tergi and became “Tergdaleulebi”.
