A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Thursday, February 07, 2008. I am cold, but not dead. Well, I've let this blog sit and languish over the winter for far too long. What's happened over the time away? Georgia has been in the grip of the coldest winter in a decade- leaving me without water for weeks (seriously, can insulation really be that hard? I'll post more on all this.

Where is Nickum?: July 2006

Probably saving the children of Darfur through his poetry and interpretive dance. Only this will stop the slaughter, not the UN or negotiations, for that would be foolish. No, only my fluid dance movements and the scattered words on a page can melt the coldness of cruelty. Sunday, July 23, 2006. Yours truly, fellow volunteer Seke, my host sister Mary and her son Nika in front of Stalin's personal traincar. My host sisters Mary and Keti and our friend Anna. Stalin Museum- It was closed so I didn't go in.

Cuttino's Georgian Life: Moving On...
http://cuttinoalexander.blogspot.com/2011/04/moving-on.html
A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Monday, April 25, 2011. The war was a sad and shocking end to my Peace Corps service, as these final posts reflect. The good news, however, is that the ultimate nightmare scenarios did not come to be. Things were tragically set back, but the resilient Georgians picked up the pieces and moved on with the rebuilding and reforming of their nation. Epistles from the Caucasus.

A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Thursday, November 29, 2007. St George's Day, Year 2. This old woman sang on the mountainside for hours.

http://cuttinoalexander.blogspot.com/2008/08/heavy-fighting-in-south-ossetia.html
A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Thursday, August 07, 2008. Heavy Fighting" in South Ossetia. I know its been a long time since I have updated this blog. I finished out my service last week and left Georgia two days ago. Work got very busy and things fell by the wayside and I apologize for that. In the near future I will post some blog entries reflecting on the positive times during my last days in Georgia. Posted by Cuttino Alexander @ 7:05 PM.

Cuttino's Georgian Life: Stalin's Big Day
http://cuttinoalexander.blogspot.com/2008/02/stalins-big-day.html
A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Thursday, February 07, 2008. I'm sure it seems strange to an American that Stalin would still be held in such regard, and I realize that so far I have written very little about the "Stalin cult" here in Gori and, to a lesser degree, in all of Georgia. We all know what Stalin did while in power. Many Georgians here in Gori recognize that, though some either deny it or play it down ("He really didn't kill. Peace Corps Georgia Blogs.

Cuttino's Georgian Life: Helping Out
http://cuttinoalexander.blogspot.com/2008/08/helping-out.html
A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Sunday, August 31, 2008. Since I'll be traveling, I'm planning to organize a project to help out with this work after the holidays. Hopefully by the winter we will have a better picture of the long term needs arising from this crisis. In the meantime, a group of former Peace Corps Volunteers have started an initiative to help out with the current basic needs of displaced people. You can visit their website here.

Cuttino's Georgian Life: Campaign Fever
http://cuttinoalexander.blogspot.com/2007/12/campaign-fever.html
A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Tuesday, December 18, 2007. The Iowa primaries may be 16 days away, but the Georgia presidential election- two days later- promises to be way more entertaining (or is it nerve wracking. One of the "Misha Mobiles". Thanks to my Georgian friend, Dato, for the pictures). The crowd awaits Saakashvili. As always, Civil Georgia. Is the best place for up-to-the-minute reports.

Cuttino's Georgian Life: Gori's Tragedy
http://cuttinoalexander.blogspot.com/2008/08/goris-tragedy.html
A journal of my Peace Corps service in the Republic of Georgia, 2006-2008. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. In the meantime, the innocent civilians of Ossetia and Georgia are caught up in the crossfire. These people have been my friends and family for two years and it is heartbreaking to see what is happening to them. Fifteen years of progress is in jeopardy. I can only hope that there is something left of Gori when the dust settles. BBC - Violence Flares in Georgian Town. Peace Corps Georgia Blogs. Ryder in ...
