GREMI, Georgia - On Monday, December 21, U.S. Ambassador John Bass attended the opening ceremony for the Temi Special Needs Home, in Gremi, Kakheti region. Construction of the home was funded by the United States Government.
It was as a project of the U.S. Department of Defense Office of Defense Cooperation. The project was managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Total funding for the project provided by the United States Government was $309,223.
The Temi Special Needs Home welcomes residents of all ages and capacities including children and adults with special needs, as well as children without families, and elderly people. Currently there are 84 residents in the Temi Special Needs Home. The new facility will serve as both a home and a school. Construction of the Special Needs Home embodies our continued commitment to improving the lives of the most vulnerable groups in any society, children and those with special needs. It also represents the partnership and friendship between the United States and the people of Georgia.
"The military-to-military cooperation between the United State and Georgia gets a lot of attention, but the amount of the assistance that is rendered in that fashion is much smaller than what we do every day in lots of different places in Georgia to support the citizens of Georgia through economic investments, through investing in people, through investing in infrastructure, through investing in education," Ambassador Bass said.
