It is nice that priests from different dioceses such as Gori, Atni and Bodbe gathered at Gori University. The training on the stages of child development provided by Rusudan Kiladze is very important for those who work with students. May God bless their efforts.

Good that they gathered priests from so many dioceses, from Nekresi to Batumi and Lazeti, and did this training with Rusudan Kiladze on the stages of child development. I think it will come in handy when working with students at school, especially now that they also have that official certificate. Congratulations to them.

It is good that they gathered priests from so many dioceses, from Nekresi all the way to Batumi and Lazeti. I especially liked that the psychologist Rusudan Kiladze first gave a training on the stages of child development, that's exactly what you need when you work with children at school. May God give them the strength to apply it.

It's good that they gathered popes from so many dioceses, from Nekresi to Batumi and Lazeti. It was particularly interesting to me that Rusudan Kiladze first gave a training on the stages of child development - that's exactly what you need when you work with children at school. May God help them to put it into practice.

They did well and first had the psychologist Rushudan Kiladze talk about the phases of child development. This is the most useful part when working with students. May the seminar be good for them.

It's good that first Rusudan Kilase gave them training on the stages of child development, that's the most concrete thing they need when working with students. Popes from many dioceses have gathered, from Nekresi to Batumi and Lazeti, so now with the certificates they will be able to get better involved in schools. May God help them in that matter.
